Monday Mural: and how are the children?

Information on this mural says that this question is a Masai greeting.  It was done by Amend of the TDK crew and can be found on Telegraph Avenue in the Uptown area.  It's across the street from the Stork Club mural I posted last week.  Did you notice that some of the blocks show TDK and spell out Amend's name?  Too bad about the ugly billboard that intrudes into the scene.  The commentary partially obscured by the plants reads, "A community can only thrive when its youth do.  May we never forget that the children are the heart of our community and may we never give up on them!"

cranes aloft

Sometimes it surprises me how close you can get to those container cranes.  Tell me these don't look like something out of Star Wars.  Taken just north of Jack London Square.

Monday Mural: Stork Club

The Stork Club is a popular music venue in Uptown.  Sometime recently, when I wasn't looking, a new mural went up on its facade.  If you look at the components, the whole mural is pretty funny. Stealth humor.   Once again, I don't know who did it.  My bad.

Warriors' practice makes perfect

The Warriors practice in a facility in the Oakland Convention Center, which is is the Old Oakland neighborhood downtown.  Can't complain about how the practice is impacting their performance this season.  12-0 is looking pretty darn good.  Warrrrr-yers!

Monday Mural: future embrace past

Found on Telegraph Avenue.  It replaces this mural I showed you quite a while back.  I saw it out of the corner of my eye and had to drive around the block to shoot it.  Didn't see a name, don't know what it means, but it's an arresting image.

Monday Mural: mosaic advertising

Jingletown is full of artist studios along with newly constructed condos.  The mosaic studio has done a lot of projects to spruce up what was once a neglected area of town.  I liked it when I saw this business sign using the mosaic technique.  An interesting, if not unexpected, junction between art and an industrial business.

Monday Mural: Queen of the Nile

More from Solano Way.  Full of Egyptian-ish symbols and eyes everywhere.  Then there's the sharks, extra terrestrials, and all those eyes.  I get the feeling the artist was so full of ideas and images, that they all spilled out without the constraint that the image should be an integrated whole.
