This loving image fronts a vacant lot on International Blvd. in East Oakland. All around the man and his truck is a poem written in three colors as if one line is echoing the other. I couldn't read much of it because of the angle of the sun in my eyes but I thought the image had a lot of dignity. And I liked that it fronts on a lot that looks green and lush as if he were out in a field.

ReplyDeleteIt's a beauty.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a mural with a message.
ReplyDeleteI too like the way it blends with its surroundings.
ReplyDeleteA clever angle for the photo, it adds to a powerful image.
ReplyDeleteI think the guy is making a screen print. Nice the way the poem is following the contour of the objects. Something you see oft in aboriginal art with dots. I like it.
ReplyDeleteA very nice one!
ReplyDeleteAh, yes! I like that very much!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting.
i like this one!
ReplyDeleteoh I like this and the sharp colors. Plus the added poem within.
ReplyDeleteThey did a really great job on the worker. I like this type of mural rather than the ones I cannot make sense of nor read.
ReplyDeleteHe is great! It does look as if he is doing some silk-screening - was there a business nearby doing it?
ReplyDeleteI definitely like that field of green in front of the wall. Makes the work stand out.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice way to make a vacant lot look good!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever done a total count of the # of murals you have photographed? Amazing!
