Wesley F. Creigh painted this framed mural on a corner where she's had other murals too:

Superstars on Ft. Lowell

I caught this mural at sunset. When I checked the front of the building (along Fort Lowell) to see what business was there, I saw a sign “unsafe to enter.” I wonder how long the mural — or the building — will be there?

The bricks, and the white areas that look like stucco, are painted on.

I took the photos on January 23rd.

Rock Martinez' Prince commemorative mural in The Washington Post

I've found a few old mural photos that I've never published here. This is the first — from December 13, 2012:

Revisited: Guadalajara Grill on Kolb in 2014

As I was looking through co-editor David Aber's Flickr account, I saw that he'd taken photos in 2014 of the same Guadalajara Fiesta Grill on Kolb that I had photographed in 2013. But I'd only snapped photos of three murals by Joe Pagac. Dave found four tile murals by an artist named Miranda. Here they are:

He took the photos on December 28, 2014.
