Healthcare workers as superheroes street art!

I saw this today and thought you might enjoy it, too!

Healthcare workers as superheroes has been painted on an electrical box in San Diego’s Grantville neighborhood. You can find the fun street art at an intersection near Kaiser Zion Medical Center.

Spider-Man is swinging along holding Boba Fett, apparently taking him to the hospital emergency room!

Did the web-slinging Marvel superhero rescue Boba Fett from the sarlacc? Does that explain the Star Wars bounty hunter’s survival?

We rise by helping others…

Thank you healthcare workers!

Become a superhero and fight hunger!

You can become a real life superhero! Join other superheroes fighting hunger by educating kids with a fun comic book!

I saw the Hunger Action Heroes Unite comic book today on sale in the gift shop of the Comic-Con Museum. The comic book was created by Feeding San Diego to educate young readers about the impacts of hunger and food waste…and to inspire them to be part of the solution!

By purchasing just one comic book (at the museum gift shop or online), you can help provide 14 nutritious meals to people facing hunger. You can also download teacher and parent resources by visiting this website.

People who love the Comic-Con Museum might remember the origin of these Hunger Action Hero characters: Hunger Halter and Demeter were created by students through the Hunger Action Heroes Art Contest. The contest, hosted by Feeding San Diego in collaboration with the Comic-Con Museum, invited students from across San Diego in kindergarten through 12th grade, to submit their vision of a hunger action hero, who helps to end hunger through food rescue. Nearly 300 students submitted their vision of a Hunger Action Hero.

How awesome that a cool idea and contest has grown to become something that truly assists those in need!

As the hunger heroes say, The World Needs You!

Photos of cosplay dogs at PAWmicon!

PAWmicon was held today in Balboa Park. The fun event raises funds for the Helen Woodward Animal Center.

Dogs and their human friends converged on the park, many wearing costumes. Yes, there were many superheroes. Villains, too!

I saw Krypto, Wonder Dog, Bat Dog, a scary four-legged alien, Bark Vader, a canine Homelander…

Meeting of Styles art before Comic-Con: Day 2.

Meeting of Styles is an international gathering of street artists in San Diego before Comic-Con. They’re painting pop culture murals all around the city!

Today is the second day graffiti artists have been out spray painting cool graphics on approved walls.

I documented the first day of Meeting of Styles in a blog post yesterday. See those photos here.

I returned today to Commercial Street to view some of the artists’ progress…

First, at Millionaires HQ, Jubilee has joined the X-Men wall!

Gambit appears to be finished…

Around the corner, on a nearby wall, a group of artists from Hawaii are painting images from Dragon Ball. Bulma isn’t quite dressed yet!

Progress has been made with the Transformer mural I photographed yesterday…

East of 14th Street, near the 12th and Imperial trolley station, a big long mural has been repainted with pop culture characters every year before Comic-Con. They’re at it again!

Much of the wall is devoted to Marvel comics superheroes and villains.

Working on Ghost Rider…

Miles Morales looks a bit odd right now…

Black Panther with the Infinity Gauntlet from Secret Wars…

Storm…

Ultron is reaching for Storm!

Another section is reserved for DC characters. Behind a fence, it’s just getting started. That’s Cyborg…

Back at the Marvel section, early sketched art for Doctor Doom…

And here’s Thanos!

A big wall nearby will contain Star Wars street art. Right now it’s just black space!

Street artists paint all around San Diego for Comic-Con!

About 100 street artists from around the world have converged on San Diego before Comic-Con 2026. They’re painting a bunch of pop culture murals all over the city!

This special international gathering of artists is called Meeting of Styles.

The aim is to finish the murals before the start of Comic-Con. Some of the artists were already getting started today.

Colorful murals will be painted in Logan Heights, Barrio Logan, National City, San Diego International Airport…

I caught some of the action with my camera along Commercial Street, east of downtown.

These first photos are of the X-Men wall, at Millionaires HQ. Red Bull was there with a DJ providing cool beats during the big event.

As you can see, this wall includes Rogue, Deadpool and Gambit already. I was told Wolverine, Phoenix, Cyclops, Beast and other X-Men are on the way!

This is graffiti artist SEEKS619 working on Gambit…

Another wall several blocks to the west has a mural on the way. HERT1 was working on a cool Transformer…

KOOLS was there, too, making his own spray painted contribution…

I might return in a couple days to check on the progress of several murals!

Wolverine slashes the San Diego Trolley!

Wolverine has slashed several cars of the San Diego Trolley!

Wolverine’s adamantium claws have really done some damage, it appears, and they’re giant sized, too! (I wonder if he utilized some of Ant-Man’s size altering Pym Particles?)

No, these are just new trolley wraps for Comic-Con 2026, promoting a new video game called Marvel’s Wolverine for the PlayStation 5.

As it says, Wolverine Happens!
