MURAL OF FRIENDLY ALIENS

This is one of my favorite murals in my neighborhood.

S & B Grocery and Liquor Store, 1012 Post Street

I like it because was done before murals were Art or Statements, but just ways to make a blank wall more interesting.

CITY MURALS 2016 – SELF CONSUMING SELF – DAVE (#9 in a series)

Painted on the rear of the City Center Hostel building at 685 Ellis, "Self Consuming Self – Dave" is one of my favorites. (Dave is so intent and focused looking through the microscope. Does he like what he sees? Does it disturb him?)

I happened to be down in that area recently and was able to take this photograph through the bars of the locked parking lot.
