Then it lists the artists: Allen Bender, John Nobrega @john.nobrega, Azadeh Pirazimian @azadeh_pirazimian & Jieun June Kim @junekima.rt
I can’t find a Instagram account but their website says “BlincStudios is Allan Bender, John Nobrega and a collective of creative minds and experienced visual artists and artisans ” They seem to do a lot of historical artwork.. and they have a few other murals in Chinatown. (Chinatown has a lot of amazing murals come to think of it).
I don’t know the whole story behind this mural but it was for a summer festival in Chinatown. Its referred to as the famous “Chinese love story”. They mention finding out the story behind this mural on their Twitter account but I can’t find anything more than the teaser.
Would like to know more.. I will update if I find out the story. It is a beautiful mural.
