An appreciation of Chico's work
We noted some of Chico's new work last week... After the spay/neuter sign disappeared, figured that I may want to chronicle some of Chico's work... As he has said, Chico figures that he has done 7,000 murals around the city the past 30 years. Here are a few of those murals.

ReplyDeleteGreat collection of Chico's work--a few of these I have not seen as yet.
ReplyDeleteI've got a large collection of Chico mural photos, but it seems I keep finding news ones regularly. I remember seeing his artwork around the EV before I moved here and it was something that made me feel this was a real 'neighborly' neighborhood. Back then, there were a lot more memorials (many have since been painted over) and I found that so touching.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Goggla. His work does bring that feeling of community spirit to the neighborhood. (I also think the same thing about the Mosaic Man's work...)
ReplyDeletegreat collection. i like the team dawg mural..
ReplyDeletethanks for posting! i having a recurring stupid argument with my friend that the mural on c and 6th (used to be the LOISAIDA mural) which is now hello obama, goodbye bush, is actually not bush. she's convinced it's cheney or kim jong il.
ReplyDeleteIt's John McCain!
ReplyDeleteI'll add that photo to this list....
