Here is our finished piece at The Sparkling Carwash on 55 N Saratoga Ave, San Jose. (L to R) Phoenix by Tim Hon, Crane by Romali Licudan, and Rooster by yours truly. The idea was to flip a Chinese New Year theme, but instead of the snake we chose to do birds. The Phoenix symbolizes resurrection and strength, the Crane longevity, and the Rooster is known for warding off evil spirits. I consider this a big accomplishment for me since I haven’t drawn a character since forever. Always fun and refreshing painting with my dudes!

Another Illuminaries mural finished. This piece is located at the Masonic Temple (above the Factory 2-U) on Mission Street between 22nd and 23rd in San Francisco. The mural was completed on January 24th. However, we were contacted by KTVU, NBC, and CBS a few days before the Superbowl so they could get some news coverage. It’s always fun to see how things snowball, and they type of reactions we get.

Talk about enlivening a space. We, Illuminaries, got to bless this living room wall in Danville, CA. It’s not everyday you get someone who wants to pay for some graffiti art in their home, while allowing their kids to play in the adjacent room with no gas mask.

Here is the heavy duty Photo Recap by our HGBrethren Mike Sumoto.
