The work was created by a technique called concrete form lining. John A. "Tony" Sheets is the artist who designed and executed the piece. You can just barely see his name in the bottom right photo underneath the figure with the clapperboard. Click the pictures to make them bigger.
"Burbank Evolves" is becoming the victim of evolution! It is being overgrown with plant life. Go see this amazing piece while you still can! This monument stands at the corner of Third Avenue and Angeleno Street by the Courthouse parking structure. It describes in a kind of timeline and by way of a variety of individual pictures an historical account of early California, the valley, and the development of Burbank.

There is a photo of the piece without the over growth at the City of Burbank's Art in Public Places page.

This thin little family can be seen on the corner of Buena Vista and Verdugo in front of the Family Resource Center and beside the Mary Alice O'Conner Family Center. It is such an expressive sculpture, you can see the concern in the parent's faces, and the care in their body language. I'm still searching to find out the name of the artist and the title of the piece. Below is a bas relief plaque that is located near the doors of the family center, with a likeness of "Burbank's Own Fairy Godmother," Mary Alice O'Conner to whom the building is dedicated. The address of the building says 401 North Buena Vista although it faces Verdugo Ave.
