Parts of a mural a tribute to friends

CHARLESTON, W.Va.--Charleston's East End is getting another splash of color, courtesy of two local artists.

Jeff Pierson, 32, and Tyrone Scott, 18, are working to complete a 75-foot-long mural that Pierson designed on the back of the new One Stop at the corner of Washington Street East and Greenbrier Street.

The mural shows a series of colorful characters in a sort of parade. Many of the characters are based on real life figures in Charleston, while others are simply fictional concepts.

"They're friends that I have now and friends that are gone," Pierson said, adding that he has yet to give a title to the piece.
