Dear Em Ci, fellow PNEH and friends,
I went in search of Greg Brown's murals to shoot this afternoon.
GB is a local artist known for his whimsical trompe l'oeil scattered
all over Palo Alto. It was like a treasure hunt :-) There are more than
a dozen and I found 3 so far, so here you are:
1. Boys gone fishing (on the side of the Post Office wall)
2. Alien on a spaceship (on the side of CoAmerica bank)
3. Alien in a garbage man's can (at the corner of a street)
I think I'll wait for HLan to go find the rest :-)
I don't know if the last one qualifies as graffiti, it's a drawing of
the future area being reconstructed...
I had fun shooting them and I hope that they will bring you
a bit of the local flavor of my neck of the woods :-)
Have a great weekend,
BT
Dear BiTi,
ReplyDeleteThank you for making the trip in search for those awesome grafitti/trompe l'oeil to share with us. My most favorite is the first one; it looked so real that it took me a whole minute to realize that the window was also part of the trompe l'oeil.

Thank you Em Ci Twin. I found out from google the 'official'
ReplyDeletenames of the murals as: Boy with Fishing Pole Stuck on Window Grate and Alien Saucer Crash
It's interesting too to see other people's photos of them. I think
the shade of the trees in mine added a bit more confusion.
