 Mural honouring Edmonton Eskimos legend vandalized “…the mural is covered in a thin wash of white paint, a triangular design allowing colours from the original painting to peek through. The words “Foodlot Promotion Project” are stencilled onto the wall in black paint. Rollie Miles’s son, local musician Brett Miles, was angry when he learned Wednesday it had been defaced. “What artist who calls themselves an artist — I don’t care if it’s graphic or graffiti or whatever — what kind of artist paints over another artist’s work?” Miles, 52, said. “That’s just so disrespectful and bush league, and just so wrong.”
