Totums Rising

OaklandMuralFestival was this weekend and it was incredible! All this week I'll feature pics of all the murals that are either complete or still going up. Be sure to check back regularly so you don't miss any. 

This is two totums and artist Mike BAM Tyau  taking about his work. Also featuring Jesus Rodriguez up on the lift. One #totum is an Olmec god, coming from Jesus's culture, and the other is a Chinese teracottawarrior from Mike's culture. The piece ws originally supposed to be two Toltec totums but Jesus offered Mike the chance to paint one from his own background.  I like this mix, it represents some of the incredible diversity that is Oakland.
