Monday Mural: fly like an eagle

Another dramatic mural on the edge of Chinatown.  And more trash bins obscuring the signature.  Not that I could read it anyway.  Again, the angle and composition create strong movement.

Monday Mural: show me those pearly whites

I know, too bad about the dumpster, the phone on the wall, and the seeming tagging.  But check out the dynamism of the image.  The dragon is awesome and the beauty in his mouth is unconcerned.  She must have some serious powers.  This is another creation of Dragon School, whose name is what looks like a tag under the carp.  Below left are the artists who contributed to this composition in 2015.

Wait a minute, did I say phone on the wall?  When's the last time you've seen one of those?  I should have taken a photo of it just to document what now seems like a disappearing artifact of contemporary life.  Going the way of VCRs, dial phones, and transistor radios.

Monday Mural: owl vs. viper

Who do you think will win this face off?  This multi-artist effort can be found in Chinatown.  I recognize some of the names but don't see Nite Owl on the list.  I've always associated his name to this owl design.  So maybe I've gotten it wrong all these years.  Someone enlighten me, please.

Monday Mural: ARF

Meet Andrew, who I ran into while he was working on a new mural in Chinatown.  His initials are ARF, which he thinks may explain his fascination with dog images.  His vivid red dog is being painted with the permission of the restaurant on the other side of the wall.  I found him to be a warm and charming guy and it was fun talking with him as he worked.

Monday Mural: Doty bird

This bird by Doty adorns a corrugated roll-up window at The Layover, a bar/performance space/gallery.  The owner was about to roll up the window, but let me sneak in a shot before he did.  Doty has many styles but his animals are my favorite.  They always look angry and a little dangerous.
