I have always enjoyed taking walks, but it is only because of my wish to keep the dogs’ walks somewhat fresh that we have explored practically every street within a thirty to forty-five minute radius from our house. If it weren’t for the dogs, I certainly would have no need to go walk down the series of streets between 82nd and the freeway, most of which are still unimproved roads and none of which have sidewalks. And then I would have missed the house below, the residents of which are presumably Raiders fans:
Right down to the mailbox:
Was that painted on or was it a big wallpaper type picture on the side of the house?
I’m pretty sure it’s painted on. I didn’t want to climb the guy’s fence to check it out, so can’t be 100% sure.
That’s my house! I had a friend who was a mural artist (an an extreamly talented one too) who did it in 2009 for a birthday present for my father, a true die hard fan.
It’s hand painted and what I think really makes it is the shading. He did a great job. Artist name is “Mad Mike” if anyone is wondering.
At least 3 cars stop and take a picture a day.
Hi Jessica, and how cool is it that you found this post. It really is a great painting.
I am looking for an artist to do what he did to your house. Mine would be a smaller scale, but I’d like Raiders in graffiti style on a wall in my backyard. Is your friend Mad Mike available or could you recommend someone?
