Pink Dream In Storefront

Rudy Fig, a self-taught artist, shows her work in the Artists In Storefronts program in Whittier, near the corner of 1st Ave. and 26th St.  In her bio, she explains that her parents were professional toy designers, and she was "a painter, designer, and professional day-dreamer."  I think she succeeds in creating a dream-like work here.

Aztec Warrior Mural

Taylor Lindgren designed this Mexican Aztec warrior mural on the vacant warehouse, at the corner of 29th St. and Blaisdell Ave. S., Minneapolis.

It wraps around the corner of the wall:
