October 8, 2009. Church & West Broadway. As much as I want to ignore work that defaces public signs and makes it even more difficult for people to determine where they can legally park, I couldn’t help but take notice of the face. Round and so heavily shadowed, so serious, but lit by color, and decorated by a vibrant blue tattoo. Is he being inspired by some illumination from above, is that what the blue lines are in the upper left corner? Was the artist faced with the same problem as ancient artists – how to depict divine inspiration? Is he contemplating why there is a sign for a farmers market, but no market and no farmers? Maybe he is conceiving how to create local sustainability.
