Bored of my usual route I decided to head west down Imperial Avenue in hopes of seeing something new. What I happened to come across really made my day. It turns out that North Park is not the only city in San Diego that has cool art masquerading as city equipment. This utility box had old school neon signs painted on it. The nostalgia made me giddy (I'm a sucker for anything vintage). This was not the first painted utility box I had seen but I'd have to say it is one of coolest around. Not only because it had vivid imagery of the past but I especially liked it because it's now a part of my neighborhood. 
I really appreciate that an artist would come down to my 'hood and help beautify it. Thank you Jeanette. This is a link to the artist's website/blog: http://jeanettevieira.wordpress.com/The utility box can be found on 68th street, just south of Imperial avenue.
hey thanks for the review... this is awesome. I'm hoping to do more in your "hood" really soon. It was cool, so many people saying hey and giving props. It was fun.
ReplyDeletecool! I noticed from your blog that you painted another one down the street. I'll have to check that one out.
