Back in March, 2011, we posted 22nd and the world with a couple of photos of murals at Learning Bee Preschool & Daycare. The photos didn't show some signage, along 22nd west of Longfellow, that was basically just advertising.
Fast-forward to July, 2016. I did some hunting with Google Street View — which is a great tool for finding older murals, by the way — and found that, back on February 2008, there was a mural lining that same wall along 22nd. (Click there to see it. The mural is fuzzy if you zoom in enough to try to see detail.) Learning Bee's owners obviously support mural art… and keep changing it, too. Another Google Street View photo, below, shows it in April 2016:
(You can also see that in a bigger window by clicking on: Google Street View from April 2016.)
Notice the blank wall at the right side, running north on Longfellow? It was blank in April 2016. When I drove by on June 26th of this year, the Longfellow wall had been newly painted. Because it's a long, low wall, I'll show it in two halves: first the south part (closest to 22nd) and then the north part:

Update: (October 12, 2021): A new Google Street View photo of the 22nd Street side, dated March 2021, looks the same as the Street View five years earlier that's shown above. Between then and today, the wall has been repainted. I'll take photos ASAP.
Update (December 17, 2021): On 11/11/21, I stopped by to take photos of their new mural along 22nd Street. (Click there if you'd like to see it.) I realized that we didn't have a photo of the artist credit for the murals shown in this post, five years before. Here it is:
