We are a small but mighty collective of thinkers, dreamers, and creatives.
Our story began with an idea. We wanted to launch a mural company, turning our combined skills and passions into something more.
That’s when Often Seen Rarely Spoken was formed in 2016. OSRS is a 5 member mural & art collective based out of Louisville and Cincinnati. We specialize in designing and painting murals and signs locally and nationwide.
With 25+ years combined experience, our team is capable of creatively & professionally executing almost anything imaginable. We excel at client communication and move efficiently. OSRS takes pride in creating the most relevant, unique, and exciting artwork for our projects and clients.
Some may not know exactly what they want, but you can trust OSRS will deliver a finished product that is beyond your expectations. Our team of professional artists & designers have a VISION and can lead projects with full creative freedom - or work closely with other designers and planners to collaborate on YOUR idea.
Artwork that Inspires!
Murals and public art transform our environments and become exciting landmarks where they exist. The artwork we create engages and inspires the public. Our team is forward-thinking and current in the contemporary art, design, and street art/graffiti scene. All of our passions and influences merge together in our projects and that's what makes an OSRS mural stand out
Connect -> Design -> Execute
We work efficiently because of our streamlined process. When clients come to us with a vision and a space, the creative process begins. Our artists & designers will conceptualize and create a unique design package for you. Once the artwork is decided on, we’ll come on-site with a plan and execute the artwork in a professional and timely manner.
Hand Painted
No matter the surface, we always find a way to hand paint our murals. Why? Because hand-painted just feels better. Hand painted is authentic - you can see the humanity in the creation, and that’s something to take pride in.
“Our organization had the privilege of working with the OSRS crew on a mural installation for our community. The professionalism and creative direction of OSRS stood out against other artist groups we have worked with in the past. The outcome of their work has greatly enhanced the creative culture and connectivity of our community.”

“I've gotten to know Jeremy and lan and their crew over the last several years of projects together. Whether a small lettering job, or a massive building mural, they are consummately professional, on time, on budget, and the work is always beyond client expectations. Creatively, you won't find better. I've given their name to countless others! You can trust any project you have to their capable hands.”
