Atomic Cafe mural, in Little Tokyo



I asked my friend Michael Noble, and he was kind enough to send this picture of a commemorative mural at the ground level of the newly opened Little Tokyo MetroLA subway station. It’s celebrating the Atomic Cafe, after-hours hangout of song and story. The top two-thirds is based on a photo I made in 1988. If it looks familiar, that’s because I’ve previously posted the original. The mural is big — compare to the elevator doors for scale.

I am humbled and excited to join the landscape of Los Angeles this way.
