Mystery To Me Mural Artist
I know this artist and yet I don't. The first time I saw this artist's work was on a wall at Hugo's in Antioch. It's a scene from the movie Casablanca with Humphrey Bogart. I like the style, boldness and relevance to the setting. That artwork had no artist signature, website, phone number etc. that I could find. The other day I saw this mural. It's located behind the buildings on the 100 block of "G" St. in downtown Antioch. If you want to see this yourself, there is a parking lot on the east side of the street. Go there. You can't miss it. Does anyone recognize this artist? If you look closely you can read the words "Paint For Food." Nothing on the web for that. I will go back soon and scour this again for "disguised" contact info. I not only think this is a talented artist, with a wry sense of humor, but they are very clever to boot. I'm trying to find the owner of the building, I suspect they would know.
