Today I spotted these Earth Day pledges in downtown San Diego while riding the trolley down C Street. I jumped off to take photos.

A bold new mural recently debuted in Escondido. The colorful artwork, painted by local artist and teacher Charlie Mejia, depicts six ancient Aztec symbols: Malinalli, Atl, Ehecatl, Ollin, Xochitl and Quiahuitl.
You can find this public art on the north side of Tortilleria Santacruz, beside the Escondido Creek Trail bike path where it intersects with Rose Street, south of Washington Park.
When I was told about this new mural, I also learned internationally renowned muralist Mario Torero, one of the founders of Chicano Park, will soon be decorating a nearby wall!

Driving through San Diego’s Skyline neighborhood, have you noticed an enormous, fantastic fish?
I’ve seen this amazing fish mural the past few years while riding the Orange Line trolley. I finally walked over to the corner of Imperial Avenue and 69th Street to have a closer look and take photos.
The abstract fish is by San Diego artist Maxx Moses. You’ve probably seen his wildly creative murals around the city and at several trolley stations. Often cultural, technological, and organic imagery are fused together to create eye-popping art.

Walking along El Cajon Boulevard after my visit to the Rolando Street Fair last weekend, I noticed a very cool mural painted on the side of a tattoo parlor. I had discovered The Chrome Lady!
The silvery female robot indicated I’d arrived at The Chrome Lady Tattoo.
I asked one of the tattoo artists if he knew who painted the robot, but he wasn’t sure. I didn’t see a signature on the mural.
If you’re ever near the intersection of El Cajon Boulevard and 62nd Street, look for it!

Here’s one last blog post from my long walk in Chula Vista yesterday.
As I wandered down the alley directly west of Third Avenue, I discovered two very cool murals.
The first is north of Davidson Street. There’s a signature, but I’m not sure who the artist is. Leave a comment if you know…
The second mural is south of Davidson Street and is by artist Michelle Ruby, aka Mr. B Baby. You might recognize her artwork. It contains fun, colorful characters that often populate her murals…

Celebrity superstar, Mario Lopez, has been spotted on Third Avenue in Chula Vista! His famous smile has been painted on a construction fence in front of the old Vogue theater building!
Mario was born and raised in Chula Vista, in San Diego’s South Bay.
Hey Preppy! Have you watched the Saved by the Bell revival on Peacock? If so, those words might ring a bell!
Mario Lopez first played Slater in the original, very popular Saturday-morning sitcom Saved by the Bell. Since then he’s reprised the role, plus he’s had many other film and television credits.
For over a decade, Mario was host of the television newsmagazine Extra. Now he’s an anchor on the entertainment show Access Hollywood.
And today he’s also hanging out on Third Avenue! With a smile painted by Ground Floor Murals (@groundfloormurals).
Are those his fluffy pink dice and keys? The key art is by Victor “Dogs” Rodriguez (@ThatOne_Dog).
Check out some San Diego Padres art on the same fence here!

Look who has been spotted in Chula Vista! San Diego Loyal SC soccer player Alejandro Guido!
Alejandro, who is of Mexican descent, is the pride of Chula Vista, having attended Mater Dei High School.
Walk along Third Avenue in Chula Vista, south of E Street, north of the Vogue movie theater building, and you’ll see Alejandro. The defensive midfielder is running with the ball on a wall opposite Manny Machado of the San Diego Padres!
(Two days ago I discovered a mural of his San Diego Loyal teammate in Hillcrest!)

Commercial Street east of downtown San Diego is an excellent place to spot colorful murals and other fun public art!
Perhaps you’ve already seen the giant robot, the trashy whale, and the fence full of comic book characters.
Yesterday I rode the Orange Line trolley into the Logan Heights neighborhood on a mission. I wanted to photograph more murals on Commercial Street between the 25th Street and 32nd Street trolley stations.
The first mural, which you can see below, depicts famous jazz singer Billie Holiday. This artwork was painted a couple years ago by the Southeast Art Team (@southeastartteam) on their Oya Art Gallery and Boutique building, a bit west of 28th Street.
The next series of murals can be found between 31st and 32nd Street. Read the photo captions…
Finally, at the intersection of Commercial Street and 32nd Street, a mural is now being painted on what appears to be a new home for San Diego beer company Little Miss Brewing…
(Spider-Man, Cyclops, Wolverine and other Marvel comic book characters were on this building a few years back.)
UPDATE!
A new mural was painted at a later time to the immediate right of the Michelle Ruby artwork (visible on the far right in the next photo). The new mural is by (@misterhir).

San Diego Loyal SC soccer player Collin Martin has been honored with a mural in Hillcrest’s colorful Art Alley. The midfielder is proudly kicking it among other alley murals, which you can find by clicking here.
I spotted this new mural during a bus ride down University Avenue east of Fourth Avenue, and I had to jump off at the next stop for a photograph. Turns out the mural was completed just a day or two ago!
The talented young artists behind this cool street art call themselves Ground Floor Murals. You’ve possibly seen their many awesome San Diego Padres murals all around the city!

Five years ago, back in March 2018, my camera captured hundreds of colorful photographs around San Diego. Festivals, street art, nature walks and exhibitions provided a very wide variety of subjects.
The big event in late March was the San Diego Architectural Foundation’s 2018 OPEN HOUSE. The public was invited to tour and learn about notable buildings all around the city. I took full advantage of the opportunity!
Oh, and Rex the Lion debuted during an exciting ceremony at the San Diego Zoo, too!
