Monday Mural: the firefighter

Artists Mike and John Manente have created a new mural on the back wall of the Haley Law Offices. This is the fourth mural in their series "The People of Oakland."  "The Firefighter" is a portrait of a friend of the Haley lawyers who recently retired after a long career in the Oakland Fire Department.

  10. Not sure I would want a big picture of me on the side of a building even if it looked as nice as this.

  11. Such a good strong image ODP. We have so many bushfires here I have the utmost respect for firemen.

  12. It looks like a Hollywood movie poster. I bet the real firefighter is a little less romantic.
