Buddha in West Oakland
This and an accompanying mural are found on Mandala Parkway and 20th Street. It was designed by Desi, an Oakland street artist, as part of a summer program with West Oakland youth. It is not readily apparent, but the "canvas" is an old railroad car placed on railroad ties. I understand this is not everyone's cup of tea but it is something to consider. You may argue whether or not it's art, but I don't think of it as a blight like tagging.
