I first started painting signal control boxes in 2001 with the Long Beach East Village Arts District. They designated one week for artists to work and we all went out in a party atmospere and painted. It was a lot of fun and the results were wildly different. This lead to a more organized effort at community beautification by the Long Beach Redevelopment Agency who juried a group of artists in 2010 to paint throughout the city. I was lucky enough to reveive contracts to paint five more Long Beach boxes. I recently painted four boxes in the City of Los Angeles - two at the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Western Avenue and another two at the Wilshire Boulevard and Normandie. I am working on designs for another box at the corner of Wilshire and Shatto to be installed by the end of December.
