Walking by Monique Lofts on Sunday I noticed the mural but was unsure how new it was so I was afraid to blog anything in case it had been up for a year and I just hadn’t noticed it.
Thanks to CHS for pointing to pictures from Levi Clark on Flickr of the creation:
It’s a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

Yet one more instance of ye olde “lipstick on a pig.”
You ever notice, out in the hinterlands in small towns that the interstates have passed by, that once the wall murals show up, the town is finished.
Might be happening in Condoville.

On the other hand, the Mission District murals in San Francisco add a lot to the character of that neighborhood. Not that anyone would mistake the Monique Mural with those in the Mission.

That mural is very new indeed. In fact it’s still a work in progress as far as I know and the artist responsible for it is NKO. [Pronounced like Nico]
I can’t wait to see it completed. It’s been fun watching it develop over the past few weeks on such an enormous wall. I love how he’s making use of the facade’s unique features and faded advertisements as well.

First commenter knows not what he’s talking about.
The mural is beautiful. Post another photo - it’s really changed a lot since this one.
