Colourful South First Street San Jose

Some new murals for your viewing pleasure. I have included photos of the artists’ signatures because I didn’t trust myself to read some of them accurately.

Facing Changes in the ‘Hood

In a short walk today around my neighbourhood I discovered that there are now two very large multi-family residential buildings in construction and almost completed.

You would miss the lovely flower boxes, sculptures in unexpected places, welcoming outdoor restaurant seating arrangements, and murals. Lots and lots of murals.  I have posted about these before, but here are some […]

Where Vandalism Meets Art
