Astoundingly . . . I don't have a song this week! Instead, I am reflecting on a field trip that we went on this past Thursday: none other than the comically misspelled Writerz Blok. The most impressive thing I witnessed - and photographed - was a work of art in the making. Not just our stencils, although I photographed those also, but a real mural done with too many colors of spray paint to count, crafted on-site by hand, and much larger than life. I was very impressed by the artist's skill in making this mural, and rather inspired by its creativity. Moreover, since I'm not the best artist, I thought that the artistic license in creating the cartoon look of the mural's subject - a man in a sweater with an as-yet-unreadable caption - was incredible. It proved to me that the murals I have seen on the computer, under bridges, and in places such as Chicano Park, can actually be made from scratch, with a human mind by human hands.
