Monday Mural: new mural

This mural was done this year by Chase and Bui.  It's near Jack London Square at 3rd and Broadway on the side of a vegan restaurant.  It's vibrant colors and cartoon design really catch your eye.  Don't know if the speech balloons are supposed to be sincere or ironic.  Maybe the cartoon characters have a specific reference.  It's hard keeping up with pop culture to know for sure.

  3. «Louis» had missed this - he turns left on this corner at least once a week going to get supplies for his coffee business at Cash and Carry. If he had turned right instead of left, he would have seen this. ;-D

  4. OK, the work is well executed, but I really don't think I would enjoy looking at this day after day. Then again, I am a curmudgeonly old fogey.

  5. Color and life in the city. AND you always find those places. I love that you share places in the city that is only 60 miles from me. I appreciate the quiet life, but do like seeing city life on occasions.

  7. Definitely colorful and eye-catching. And, as others have noted, well done. But maybe not my style of mural either... I'm not that fond of cartoon characters.

  8. This is a perfect example that murals are much better to look at rather than graffiti.
