This mural is large and in charge. The alley may not smell good but the mural is impressive and commands the space. I saw a great photo of the actual saxophonist playing his instrument in front of the mural which is pretty awesome. And its interesting the artist chose to use red and orange poppies since the California Poppy is king in these parts. I can’t help but wonder just how much paint was used to paint this wall black before they even got started on the rest…

I’m not much of a fan of street art, but I do like the flowered walls and always respect the talent.

Hadn’t thought of that: the amount of paint… Well, I guess there is a price to pay for everything right?

For sure although I’m hoping the sponsors and festival cover the costs…

Most likely. That is a good use of taxpayers’ money in my view. And if it keeps the artists afloat… 👍🏻

I think it’s all private sponsors no tax payer dollars that I’m aware of other than support by the city but I could be wrong.

Private sponsors most certainly get tax-cuts… So it probably is our money in the end… 😉
