Photo: Walking Man mural
July 8th, 2009
Lisl spied this new mural dedicated to Silverlake’s famous Walking Man (who is actually a doctor) on one of her walks to the yoga studio. The other day I accompanied her on one such jaunt to snap and stitch this photo of it. Yes, he really is that tan. It’s on Sunset Blvd, just West of Silverlake and the Silversun plaza (here), if you’re interested in checking out the real thing for yourself.
The Silverlake Walking Man also appears as one small part of the mural decorating Micheltorena Elementary School, further West on Sunset, so he must be understood as the meta-motif, uniting not just the representative scheme of this one mural, but (soon) ALL murals…
