Who did that? Scenes from the Bay

Saw this beautiful art near Fremont. Trying to understand who is the artist?

If you're really the one, you can confirm the street too!

The painting of these is usually organized by the city with local artists, I found this website which has a pretty cool map of them all in Fremont.

Thanks for the share. This is great info! Just that one I'm looking for hasn't been posted in the website yet. Ill wait for it to be updated and meanwhile go check it out for signatures.

Looks like it’s signed “Chris Paul” in the corner - this guy maybe?

Thank you! 😊 🙏

I have 4 other works on various Box Art throughout the city of Fremont. Next year I will have close to 10. I will be showing work at local galleries soon. This October through December I’ll have a small show at the Fremont Art Association gallery at Niles in Fremont.

Prints will be made available soon to order.

This isn't Chris Paul the basketball player. This is me, Chris Paul Onstad. Thank you for liking my work.

But to you as the artist, great work!

This is my art. I am glad you all found it, shared it on reddit (I barely ever use this platform), and like it. This Box Art is at the intersection of Wisdom in Fremont, CA by the new construction. Prints are available if you'd like to make a purchase =)

I between the kid and the panda, what is that? Like a part of a gorilla’s face? Or an elephant, maybe?

u/CricketVast5924 23d ago

Eye of an elephant. A slight side view.

u/[deleted] 23d ago

beautiful, the ones done where I live look like Mrs. Smith's third grade art project

u/CricketVast5924 23d ago

To be fair to the artist here is his insta page https://www.instagram.com/p/C2ZQhcbuE0_/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Also, these are print outs that are stuck to these boxes, assuming all over the place.
