So you knew I had to follow the giraffes with the zebras right? Same artist… Dan Fontes.
These were originally produced in 1985 thanks to a public commission by the Oakland Office of Community Development. Last updated in 2003, looks like they could use a new freshening as they’ve suffered some weathering and graffiti vandalism. (Located under 580 freeway overpass on Broadway)
Fontes is a local artist and has produced numerous murals throughout the Bay Area. If curious, you can type his name into the search field at the top right of this page to see the ones I’ve covered so far. I’m curious to know if anyone ever uses that feature… it actually works pretty well.
