Created by Art Infusion 2021 featured artist David Mark Zimmerman, aka Bigshot Robot, The Adventurer is a light-hearted addition to Janesville's downtown, created to symbolize the adventuring spirit of the indigenous people who had lived here, as well as people who are coming downtown on their own adventures. With the wall right next to the river, next to the bus station, it represents people getting out and getting lost on purpose. Covering one side of the Harris Ace Hardware building with vibrant colors, the mural is best seen from a little distance - even across the river!
Bigshot Robot also painted the Midnight Snack aka Blue Barry Mural in 2020. Bigshot Robot is a Milwaukee-based designer with creations that explore curiosity, vibrancy, humor and movement. There is a sense of imagination at play with colorful palettes and energetic patterns. Most recently and on the heels of a Milwaukee Bucks NBA Finals win, Bigshot was commissioned to create a mural of a fierce buck in the Walker's Point neighborhood.
