The one that got away...

So this is the one that got away.  My favourite utility box to date was done as a commission and unfortunately neither I nor the property manager who hired me to do the box knew that we had to have permission from Enmax to paint it.  So after months of product research, importing paints and design drafts, I painted this box only to be told that Enmax is going to paint it over.  Disappointed to say the least.  If you get a chance drive by it at 6712 Fisher Street S.E. before it is gone.  Hear the CBC story at www.cbc.ca/player/Radio/Local+Shows/Alberta/ID/2464172922/

This is SO sad. Your artwork is fantastic. I hope this can be stopped! Enmax needs to think this through.
