Sunnyside mural featured on SF Curbed

Leon Loucheur’s mural on Circular Avenue was featured in an sfcurbed.com piece, “13 overlooked and forgotten murals of San Francisco” It’s number 11 on the list on left. (The map is keyed wrong.)

The provocative mix of carefully rendered live shark with urban tattoos and skeletal fishes with a patterned background was painted on the rear retaining wall of a Monterey Boulevard home in 2015.
