Missing Murals

The Undertaker is gone. He existed an a wall less than a block from my building, in an alley at right angles to the bus lane. He was not easily visible but I did notice a change as the bus I was on was slowing for my stop. So I wandered up the bus lane and looked around.

Here is The Undertaker. The CONTRALONA in the lower right is not the artist’s name; rather it is the production company that publicizes professional wresting in Puerto Rico.

Here is what replaced The Undertaker.

I’m guessing it is the same artist – note the bold colors and the interest in performers. I suspect a particular muralist has claimed this section of wall as his/her own. As I said, it is in a small alley at right angles to the bus lane and so it doesn’t get much traffic.

Here is another missing mural, from nearby. This one was on the wall paralleling the bus lane.

This was signed by Joshua.Webs. I tried searching for information about him. I found a reference to an Instagram page but the link was broken.

Here is what replaced that mural.

Apparently Joshua.Webs has made a claim to this section of the wall. In any case, the new mural is more whimsical than the old one.

Other Works

I noticed other wall art along the bus lane. Here are a few of them.

These are all along the walls paralleling the bus lane. I especially like the first one – the multiple eyes and crab-type legs certainly create an eerie effect. And it nicely works into the steel grating visible at the top of the image.

Sagrado Corazon

I noticed a retaining wall with murals near the bus terminal at Sagrado Corazon so I grabbed my camera and checked it out. Here are some of the images from that wall.

The artist clearly has an interest in local sea life. But he/she also used the Puerto Rican flag on part of the wall.

The murals along the are clearly by the same artist. I could not make out the signature so he/she will remain unknown, at least until I can do some more research.

Notes and Sources

The images are mine. I usually use a Sony digital camera. I edit the images with Adobe Lightroom and/or Photoshop.
