Photos: Dylan mural changes over time in Minneapolis

A 5-story high, brilliantly colored Bob Dylan mural is now complete in downtown Minneapolis at the corner of 5th and Hennepin. Brazilian artist Eduardo Kobra and his team of five painters created the work over the past two weeks. This is the largest wall Kobra has worked on outside Brazil.

Entitled "The Times They Are A-Changin'," the piece features three photo-realistic images of Dylan; one as a young troubadour early in his career, a second from years later, and finally a third more current image of the singer wearing what's become his trademark white hat.

Kobra began his career as a street artist, and he understands the mural may attract the attention of taggers. He says his career is based on respect for the works of others, and even when he has painted over the work of other artists this has been done with respect. He says he now hopes others will afford him the same courtesy.

He also hopes that at some point Bob Dylan will come and see the mural, and that he likes it.
