[LEMONS] 12.19.2001
There's a guy in my neighborhood who does a lot of graffiti murals. He paints lots of elephants. Last night, when I walked by A&A Market at Broderick and Fulton, I saw a guy working on the wall. It was the elephant guy's partner, "Jay." I was glad to see the new mural, it looks like it's going to be really sharp when it's finished, but sad to see the old one go. I was glad I'd shot all the murals in our neighborhood a few months ago so that I have a record.
Murals are such a wonderful form of public art. I wanted to grab Jay and thank him, telling him "thanks for beautifying my neighborhood. You turn our walls into art." But as it was I was already weirding the guy out a little bit, and I think that would have been a little much. In fact, I think my questions were weirding him out a lot. He looked completely freaked.
In any case, I snapped a few pictures of the new mural today wen Harp and I walked by. It's still in progress. But here's a photo of the wall, and a detail shot as well. (click to enlarge)
