Monday Mural: green eyes

This is a new mural in West Oakland just off Mandela Parkway.  It is a large collaboration between three artists.  This section is by Ernest Doty whom you've seen in a previous post.  There is something unsettling yet oddly compelling about these faces.

If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme's for you.  You decide what constitutes a mural.  Once you start looking, you find them all around.  Follow the Linky steps below.  Be sure to link back to this meme and visit your fellow posters.  Looking forward to the mural finds posted this week.

    Yes, I agree with you about it being unsettling yet quite compelling to look at.

    A bit influence of the sixties and seventies perhaps.

    You used the right word, unsettling, gives me a bit uncomfortable feeling to look at.

    I can imagine him on the cover of old pulp science fiction magazines.

    I've heard of the third eye, but never the fifth! A very interesting mural, although I wouldn't want to walk by here at night. :)

    Your photo reminds me of Les écorchés, by Fragonard.
