‘Ed the Zebra' mural painted in Nashville
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – Ed the Zebra has garnered national attention over the last week and a half. Now he's immortalized on a Nashville art piece.

'Bandit' is a traveling artist who does a lot of research on what is going on in cities before he shows up. He usually paints politically motivated murals, but saw that Ed the Zebra was creating a ton of buzz in Nashville so this time he switched it up to something lighthearted. 'Ed the Zebra' captured after 8 days on the loose in TN 'Bandit' says the children in the painting are meant to represent the child-like joy the zebra chase gave to Tennesseans. 'Just showing how we're a bunch of kids chasing animals all the time, it seems like. It seemed like a rat race to catch this zebra. Children always add a humorous, satirical feel to the work as well.' The artist says he did not get permission to paint this mural. News 2 did reach out to the property owner, Graybar Electric Co., and they said they do not mind that the new mural is there. Do you have news happening in your neighborhood?

'When it's time for me to go,' she added, 'I want to be able to look back on my life and say, 'I did that exactly how I wanted to.'' 8 Lewis left MTV in 2001 to host her own show, 'The Ananda Lewis Show.' WireImage CNN correspondent Stephanie Elam, one of Lewis' closest friends, visited the MTV alum just one day before her passing.
