00:01:22.750 - 00:03:11.660

Yeah. Mhm. No, make it back there you are. Yeah, that's true. Um Let's see. I gotta get the white balance right. This is, yeah. I don't know if I have this, have the sound on, I guess. What's

00:03:11.660 - 00:04:09.020

your name? Oh, there was a molly that painted on the mural. We're not the same people, but I've done one of those before. Yeah. Where was it? Was in Santa Cruz. Yeah. I was like 14 with

00:04:09.020 - 00:04:45.875

some friends. I want to record them before in my whole life. I never really knew who painted them. Yeah. The animals and the old one in the street on the other side. Okay. Okay. Did you do the ones by the bridge to the new ones? Do

00:04:45.875 - 00:05:02.800

those? Yeah, I like that one. Every time I walk by that one, I always wanted to do that. It's you telling me that take you. Thank you. How long did it take you to do that? 03 or four or five months took six years to get

00:05:02.810 - 00:07:22.270

permission for the first one and then this one before I could get the other one. That's so cool. What's your name by the way? Nice to meet you. I actually have to be going to work now. Yeah.

00:07:52.280 - 00:19:22.150

No. Hello, visible surface mural works. There's a creation of that. I put together with some friends and other two murals are also on freeways and I'll be describing them a little further in a few minutes. This

00:19:22.150 - 00:19:41.860

one in danger excuses what happens to humans was done in 1986. The first one we did on a freeway And 79 was an appreciation of Luther Bradley. It is under Highway 1019th Street. It was a copy of an earlier when we did in 77 on top

00:19:41.860 - 00:20:02.930

of another mural of ours on a building in Roseland. The next three way we did is the one you just saw in between these two. It's the mural called Energy on Olive Street Under Highways 12 and 101 which was completed in 1981. The idea to do

00:20:02.930 - 00:20:24.330

a mural under this overpass card around 1975, but it took six years to actualize it. After the initial inquiry to Caltrans, it was one of the first they received. A number of my friends aren't around to help with them or I'd interview them now. These three

00:20:24.330 - 00:20:52.240

ways may be expanded and the murals themselves are in danger. These murals came about with the support and encouragement of many different people and organization. The Cultural arts Council helped the California Arts Council, the um, Arts Council of Sonoma County. The community resources for independence, public

00:20:52.240 - 00:21:19.260

petitions, newspapers, City of santa rosa, Department of Transportation. But most of all the dedicated artists that worked on them. My friends, Michael finch Alex, Anderson thomas hall. It's under Michael screaming and Charles, Churchill among many others and some people just came by and painted for the

00:21:19.260 - 00:21:21.150

day. Thank you
