  • Found in Reno: Multi-story parking-garage murals

    Reno and street art just cannot be separated from each other. The art on the street are not much talked about. At least not as much as the casinos and the neon lights that seem to characterize the city. But anybody who has walked down those streets cannot have...
  • Art attack on a utility box in Reno

    As I was putting together the post on the utility box art that I came across in Reno, NV. I couldn’t bring myself to put up the pictures of this bright yellow box I found near Club Cal-Neva at the intersection of Virginia Street and Second Street. It felt...

    Walk around Reno, NV and you will see so much street art. While most of Reno’s public paintings are on its walls, there’s no way we can miss the ‘Biggest Little City’s’ utility-box art. Here in this post are just two of them, but there’s more coming up. The...

  • Zio Ziegler fish mural

    Monday Mural: Found in Mill Valley

    On a surf shop in Mill Valley, CA is a fish-shaped mural; a very colourful one at that. I’m wondering if this piece of art is a work by  Zio Ziegler, an artist from the area. I remember seeing another mural of his in a big city called San...
  • Capitola Beach mural

    Capitola’s Breezeway Murals

    Last summer we holidayed in Capitola on California’s Central Coast and while we were there, I happened upon several murals in this seaside village. On my last evening I found some very Capitola murals on a breezeway on Esplanade. The breezeway was poorly lit but I couldn’t helping taking...
