Keith Haring’s ‘Crack is Wack’ mural as seen on Google Street View.
This is has got to be one of my favorite murals in L.A.: Kent Twitchell’s Bride & Groom, for the Victor Clothing Company.

Today I met Judithe Hernandez, an artist who has painted some of the most significant murals in Los Angeles, including Recuerdos de Ayer, Sueños de Mañana, above, from 1981.
