Monday Mural: wolf hound

This mural decorates the side wall of a newish bar called, what else, the Wolf Hound.  The evolution of the dog's form is the most intriguing aspect of the composition.  To my eye the image gives off more of a Baskerville Hound vibe than anything else.

Monday Mural: Muay Thai

This bright mural calls your attention as you drive by.  Very effective mixture of mural and advertising.  I didn't see a signature.  Note to self:  don't mess with these guys.  Found on the dojo wall on San Pablo Avenue in the Golden Gate district.

Monday Mural: slam dunk


This fabulous new mural has the quirkiest POV I've yet to see.  For the uninitiated, this is an image of Golden State Warrior Kevin Durant slam dunking during the NBA finals.  It's believed to be inspired by a photo taken from above the basket.  What do you think?

                                       

Now it's on a vertical wall of a new shoe store with the basket near the sidewalk and with Durant looking like he's dropped from the skies.  (Well, to us fans, his joining the team does feel like a gift from heaven).  (Just in case you didn't know, the Warriors won the championship).  Brooklyn born jr.co is the artist and his video of creating the mural can be found here. Check out his other work here.  You'll recognize his slightly cubist treatment of singers and other athletes.

Monday Mural: land of the free

This is a pretty busy mural with lots going on.  I would have called it "smashing bear" but Land of the Free is tacked on right below the bear's right elbow.  Once again I have no idea what is the precise message beyond "protest."  I'm pretty sure the zig zags spell out something, but exactly what is a mystery to me.  Do yourself a favor and enlarge the mural to see the details.
