From the wall at Sika's shop

I've taken quite some time to consider what I will do at this space and I have decided to continue to log the sights of Leimert Park as a 'journal' of sorts to remind me of my time working in this neighborhood. I am looking to find work much closer to home and hope to find it soon, and I think I will.


This time I've posted a picture taken around the corner of Sika's shop...

This is a beautiful mosaic/ art installation on the wall just outside of Sika's shop on Degnan; it's located in the alley next to his shop.


One day walking around the neighborhood, I made a short video with my camera to capture the sounds of the neighborhood. This is what goes on during the weekdays and it often sounds a little magical, but maybe that's just because I love jazz...(I hope this video works!)

Words to live by...

This is on the wall of SIKA'S on Degnan Street at the alley to the parking lot. Good words to live by...

Have a great Labor Day Weekend!

Mural at Eso Won Bookstore

This mural can be found on the wall of Eso Won Books located at Degnan Street. There is a great selection of African-American literature and writers at this cozy bookstore where jazz is usually playing...I hope to capture an image of the whole mural to share here, it is so beautiful and colorful!
