New murals being created for Viva Fiesta Paint Jam
811 South Flores Street at the corner of Guadalupe at The Strip Club near downtown San Antonio.
I’m glad Hispanic Elvis is part of this. Fiesta at Market Square isn’t the same without him.

I’ll check back on this in a few days to get the finished work and to credit the artists.
New mural on Nolan Street on San Antonio’s near East Side
The mural has the look of a collage. The creator is Kaldric Dow, whose Instagram describes him as a Texas visual artist.
Nolan Street dips under the railroad tracks here. This has long been the location of another colorful mural on the opposite side of the street.

The Butchers Crew muralists at work at Essex Modern City in San Antonio
On that day I only had time to stop by for a few minutes and get a look at the works in progress.
The next time I got to Essex Modern City, the place was locked up. I managed to stick my camera through the front gate and take the long shot of the finished wall. Because of the angle, I wasn’t able to get a view of Paul’s mural on the far right.

New art at Healy-Murphy Park in San Antonio
Muralists took over the old Healy-Murphy Park on Nolan Street in San Antonio on Saturday.
This is just east of where McCullough becomes Nolan as it passes under Interstate 37 near downtown.
Organizers called it the largest outdoor gallery in Texas.
San Diego’s Chicano Park is an inferno of outdoor murals
The theme of the art is the history and tradition of the Barrio Logan neighborhood in San Diego.
Most of the murals are painted on the infrastructure of a major highway interchange where Interstate 5 meets the road to the Balboa Bridge. Because of that, many of the surfaces are not proper rectangles. It’s interesting to see how the artists work with some odd angles and bridge supports that often are not exactly vertical or horizontal. Some of the murals are even painted on the bottom of the highway – or the ceiling of the park depending on how you look at it.
There is a parking area at the park, a few places to sit, a fountain, a small playground for kids and restrooms (even the restrooms have murals). There are also some neighborhood restaurants within walking distance.
