‘Flamingo Swirls’ is another collaboration between OhYa Studio and Triangulador. Located on the side of the Johnson Street Laundromat in Madison, Wisconsin, this mural combines Liu’s doodle aesthetic with a flamboyance of pink, plastic flamingos, Madison’s city bird. A special thanks to Madison Public Art Project for funding the materials and supplies for this wall.

We started out by spray painting random doodle icons all over the wall.

This "doodle grid" would give us many points of reference so we could manually enlarge the design onto the wall.](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f85e3366746d31d96ce2f63/1605901767935-GJURYOTRLPFFTT0PDDX9/OY_DoodleOverlay.jpg)
