Murals Murals Murals

I was walking down some random street in East L.A. and I came across this gorgeous wall in the middle of a residential neighborhood:

An East L.A. Mural

I found this mural at some random side street in East L.A. That is one of the things I love about this part of town, you can be walking down some random side street and you'll unexpectedly find something beautiful that was made with soul to look at. Unfortunately, I don't even remember where it is.

Artist: I can't make out the signature on the second photo.

Anahuac Mural

Several weeks ago I came across the Anahuac mural in Boyle Heights. Its this 400 sq ft mural on the perimeter wall of Roosevelt High. It is a mural celebrating the history and accomplishments of Mexico and Central America. It took the muralist Nelyollotl Toltecatl six years to complete this mural.

Here are some shots I took:

The close ups that I put up are somewhat a disjointed story of what the mural actually depicts. More pictures of the mural can be found here.

Also, the mural is on Mott St between 4th and 6th.

Red Pepper on a Skateboard

This little guy is close to the corner of 1st St and St Louis(?) in Boyle Heights. Its a "legal" piece that is part of a store front.Its right next to Ernesto de la Loza's Bridges to East L.A. mural. Anyway, I've always thought it as cute.
