September 2004: Prior to the first painting day, there was writing of grants by Nancy at Little Tokyo Service Center (Spring 2003), community input meetings (Summer/Fall 2003), design of the image (July 2004), approval from the City (August 2004), prepping the wood panels with a gesso (base coat), drawing two foot chalk lines on the wood, transferring the design onto wood panels with an overhead projector, painting the outline in blue paint, transporting the panels, paint supplies, volunteer sign-in sheets, and snacks to the mural site in Little Tokyo (Central Avenue/First Street) each day. These images are from the first month of prepping the wood through the first public painting day. |
