VISION ZERO MURAL

Earlier this summer I created this fun mural in association with LACCNP for Mayor Garcetti's VISION ZERO initiative. The City's goal is to eliminate all traffic deaths by 2025. I figured that creating a large mural aimed at the kids in the neighborhood would be best for the initiative in this particular location. The mural is located on the side of Sam's Market on the corner of Westlake and 6th St. The title is "Cuidado Niños Jugando" (Caution Children Playing). I hope people enjoy the mural and the message as they travel around the MacArthur Park area.

DOCKWEILER STATE BEACH MURAL

The great guys at the Mobile Mural Lab put together a great public art project that they designed at Dockweiler State Beach.

They asked me to take part and invite some youth.  So I made it a family event and got my kids and niece to help me out.

Here are some pics for you to enjoy.

They loved the free form spray painting.

Eventhough I had nothing to do with the design (I just helped with the tags on the walls) I think the final result was awesome!
