58...59...

What a week.  BEAUTIFUL weather, yes?!  So, no surprise that the A Team pulled together yet again, driving and BARTing in from Los Gatos, Berkeley, Chico and the local area, to complete another two panels and get about 1/2 way through a third....these people are far more beautiful than the weather we 've enjoyed these past 5 days-

Looky - waaaaaay down Jackson....THERE we are!

And NO panel has gotten quite the "treatment THIS one did - Welcome to the Wall, Caspers Hot Dogs!!!
Local Muralist, Ricardo Lazo,
joined in as well.  What a treat to have an accomplished artist such as he, join the team!   It just keeps getting better!


Meanwhile, Matt kept on the task of leveling upcoming panels.  We tried a number of new products as well as a few "creative application techniques" thanks to Matt and we DO believe we have found a way to make the efforts of these last few panels FAR more "smooth" than the last 59.


Wait....59?!?!?
So, here we have the "Community Picnic" panel, an expression of Hayward's fantastically "ethnically diverse"
population.



...and this panel would NEVER have been completed without the generous efforts of Porschia...what an amazing young lady.  ALWAYS "shows up" when you need her...it's like she's got some sort of Mural Zen thing going on...hey, don't knock it - she's THERE!  (here?)
...ahhhh at last, the Famous Caspers Hot Dogs - at home in Hayward since 1934...1934!?!
( I MAY want to play around with that tree just a bit longer though...hmmmmm)

So, I'll See ya around NEXT week my friends, when we attempt to bring the Library to life here with panel no. 60.
Stay tuned then, as the Great Wall of Hayward continues to expand and explode with both creativity and COLOR

  1. I always love seeing these updates, but I really love the first pic where you can see some of its length among the trees. Gorgeous! The community picnic panel has made its way on to my fave list! Your team is wonderful as are you, fearless leader. PIMof3
