Diego’s mural on Wavelab Recording Studio, downtown Tucson
Diego’s mural on Wavelab Recording Studio, downtown Tucson
Diego Roa’s mural on the Wavelab Recording Studio, painted February 2017.
I found Craigcam’s vimeo video where you can see the artist Diego working on the mural. Craigcam does videos around Tucson so I’ll be checking out his stuff (so you may be seeing more, lol)
I think the guy looks like Pat Morita in the original Karate Kid. Don’t you?
From Diego’s Facebook posts, he is traveling around creating murals. Just before Tucson, he did an MLK mural in Louisiana on the Walls Project in Baton Rouge.
And as of September 2018, Diego is in Costa Rica where he created this one.
In the 1800s and before, painters would often go from town to town painting portraits and church walls. Apparently painters still travel although now it’s global as they go from country to country. Pretty cool.
You can use the search bar to search Amazon as I did with “latin american murals book”. Today Diego Rivera. The Complete Murals showed up. Diego Rivera is, of course, a totally different muralist than Diego Roa above. Diego Roa doesn’t have a book yet but maybe some day.

The guy does look like Pat Morita! Cool mural!
I thought so too! Glad you liked it.
Loved your blog today watching the the guy painting so amazing and listening to the music video. Thank you for sharing. x ???
I’m happy you enjoyed it. Isn’t it so cool that so many people are making videos in their towns so we can see moments like that? I feel lucky I found it.
As usual, I am jealous of your murals! Kinda a cool life…traveling to paint murals.
Your town has some interesting artwork though. I love the whimsical nature of this statue

You’re quite right, he does look like the Karate Kid actor. It’s a nice mural anyway and thanks for contributing.
Thanks, I love that you’re doing Monday Murals blog hop. I’ve started taking pics of murals recently so it’s a great place to share them
