View of Murals from West William St. & Market St.
Bright Murals
This mural is by Japanese artist yoshi47 (yoshi47.com). That’s a big smile. And then you enjoy the close up shaggy fur and look deep in their eyes.
The mural is next to another mural called Wabi Sabi Sunset by artist Andrew Shoultz . Here is a close up of the inviting colors and lines.
These murals go well together, using bright colors and making something big from smaller repetitive lines that are themselves beautiful to consume and contemplate.
Moment Mural
Moment mural in San Pedro Square parking garage by artist Anabella Piñon.
Chavez & Ohlone – Mural on old IBM Building
Mural by Opski Chan on East St. John Street in San Jose. The mural references San Jose history using various fonts from historical fruit packing labels.
Garage Door Murals
I am always impressed when I see murals in residential areas on private property. This one was found on Washington Street in San Jose.
Love is Love Mural
Mural by San Jose artist Houyee Chow-Jiménez (houyeechow.com).
Koalas in the Trees
You may have to look carefully when downtown to see these koala sculptures climbing in the trees. When you spot them, it is a pleasant surprise. The koalas are climbing in a series of trees on the street meridian of E San Carlos Street. Look for a bit and you may find more than you expected over several trees. Here is an example.
Utility Box
Colorful Pipes
If you have to have pipes anyway, why not make them colorful? You can make the world a little better wherever you are. That’s what some people in downtown San Jose think. You can find these colorful and functional pipes on Third Street.
