A mural that covers the entire side of a building will be unveiled Wednesday on a day set aside to honor Lakers great Kobe Bryant.
The new outdoor mural measuring 125 feet-by-32 feet is at the offices of the West Coast Trial Lawyers at 1147 S. Hope St. in downtown Los Angeles. Mural artistand L.A.-based illustrator Nikkolas Smith created the work which they called the largest portrait of Bryant in the city.
The mural depicts a close-up of Bryant's face, in black-and-white, in the middle, flanked by a mamba snake on the left and, in color, a group of children -- including Gianna -- playing basketball atop a giant book. The book is"Epoca," one of the children's stories Bryant created through his Granity Studios company after he retired from basketball.
The mural is designed to highlight both Bryant's fiery competitive nature and his gentler side, according to a spokesman for the artists. "Kobe Bryant created stories for children that featured Black and Brown characters, so he inspired kids in ways that went even beyond what he did on the basketball court," Smith told City News Service."It was an honor to make this mural, a dedication to Kobe and his creative and athletic genius."The Pacific Park Ferris wheel at Santa Monica Pier will be illuminated Wednesday with the numbers 8 and 24 and Lakers colors. The light show will feature patterns and transitions.
