It was her performance of Paparazzi at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Between her singing, masterful piano playing with one leg propped up and hanging from a chandelier while bleeding, the performance resonated with Parker as straight-up art. Gaga became an inspiration for Parker, 33, whose artwork contains themes of feminism, breaking down gender barriers and love. So it’s no wonder that when he secured a mural at 1701 N Franklin St. through Robertson Billiards, he chose to do a tribute. He had planned to use a projection to aid with rendering her likeness but scrapped those plans and, quite remarkably, is working only from a photograph. With Gaga’s sold-out concert coming up Dec. 1 at Amalie Arena, Parker is working feverishly, sometimes logging 16-hour days. And he’s on a mission to get Gaga to take a selfie in front of it. ╰☆╮𝙸𝚐𝚗𝚘𝚛𝚎 𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚑𝚊𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚍 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚌𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚌𝚒𝚜𝚖.
