St. John’s artist Kyle Bustin won the commission for his mural design to mark the 50th anniversary of Mary Brown’s, a fried chicken restaurant business, which opened its first restaurant in 1969. Bustin, assisted by artists Reggie Winsor and Jordan Burton, painted the outside wall of a three-story building that houses the newest Mary Brown’s restaurant at the corner of Adelaide Street and Water Street in downtown St. John’s. The mural is painted in a “Where's Waldo style” said Bustin, with “lots of bright, colourful characters,” including different types of sea life.
