Monday Mural: paint life

This seems like a pretty gentle image of life, especially for a street artist.  Unless there's an irony here that I'm missing.  Found on the Oakland-Emeryville border.  The artist is named No One.

Monday Mural: more gargoyles

This composition is next to the gargoyles shown you a few weeks ago which must have inspired another street artist.  It seems like it would be very difficult to paint on corrugated metal.

Monday Mural: um, there's a bear in your garage

Loved the image of the bear growling over this guy's shoulder.  He offered to move out of the picture, but without him you wouldn't know how big this piece really is.  It's a crummy photo, but you get the idea.  Found on the Oakland-Emeryville border.

Monday Mural: what's on your mind?

Another new mural by Doty, this time partnered with Sworne.  Stylistically it is very much like one I showed you a few months ago.  It feels kind of nihilistic to me.  I'm assuming that the Lords and CBS are the crews these two artists belong to.  Found near the Oakland-Emeryville border on Adeline Street.
