I've always wanted to paint Disney somewhere casting his shadow back against a building. Maybe someday. I'm now preparing to paint a new Freeway Lady for a new building on the campus of LA Valley College. She will be visible from off campus too, when driving south on Fulton looking off to the left . It's an ideal wall on a beautiful campus. I think it's the place for her to live permanently. Thank you LAVC.

A phenomenal artist! I miss the Freeway Lady..maybe you could do another one! We need the Grandmother in LA! All your work is a mindblower! Thank you!

Kent maybe on the very tall parking structure next to the 134 Freeway facing West.

Kent can you paint Walt Disney on the Disney Studio building overlooking things? That would be fantastic.
