Danny Martin joins mural party along 6th Avenue

What's different about this Danny Martin mural? It's on the west and south walls of Sooters Auto Service.

Of course, any muralist can have fun and paint anything. But I think Danny had more fun with this mural than usual. Here's why:

• He hasn't made a lot of murals with color. This one has a bright red truck.
• The truck is really bright red for having a moon behind it and a night sky.
• I usually see javelina together — especially the youngsters. What are the little ones doing scattered all through the mural?
• You can't pull up to get gas on the front side of the pump because there's a saguaro in the way. And keep an eye our for the prickly pear while you're filling your tank (unless one of the saguaro near the gas pump works for the gas station and will do it for you).
• His murals often have two identical saguaros. In this mural, all three are the same.

Tucson has lots of great murals, but not too many this fun. (There's another fun mural across the street. Our post The Thinkers un-Tagged has photos.)
