This mural was a pleasant and unexpected surprise. It took the sting out of paying my ticket!
Recently I got my first traffic ticket (for the sake of this blog no less!) Happily, I found a wonderful mural when I visited the Burbank Courthouse at 300 E. Olive Avenue in Room 100. The American flag, the scales of justice and the constitution are all represented in this patriotic piece. In the upper right we see the constitution upheld and beneath it a list of the Burbank Municipal Court Judges. The artist's signature in the right hand corner looks like it says GAWA.

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