New AZ Daily Star article about Rock Martinez

Today's issue of the Arizona Daily Star ran an article about well-known Tucson (and Minneapolis) muralist Rock Martinez:

Neto's Tucson: From graffiti to murals, an artist evolves

The article has a series of photos, but none showing the whole Rivera/Kahlo mural. There's a complete photo, plus photos of the mural in progress, on this site's page Murals being made, part 41: Cyfi’s Día de los Muertos.

Here's a 2008 Tucson Citizen article about Rock's earlier life:

Denogean: From tagging to legitimate artwork

That article mentions a mural along 5th Avenue. You can see a photo on this blog at Spider mural.

Update (February 11, 2017): Here's a photo that Jerry Peek took of the previous mural from the left end. It gives a good idea of the length! (The hallway isn't very wide. The panorama above was stitched from a series of individual photos.)

Murals are not open to the public without permission. Check in at the office: Come in the north entrance, then turn left at the top of the double stairway inside.

Entrance to the student garden.

Student garden with a mural made of water bottles stuck in the fence.

Garden tool shed. The middle hen says "Control your children, Helen". The hen on the right responds "Control your ATTITUDE".   Sounds like teachers to me.  See lower right for student artists.

In order to include that middle photo, I may have stretched the definition of a mural just a bit.
