The mural was painted on a fence that bordered the back of a school. On street parking caused part of the mural to be obscured. However it would be easy to spot whether driving or walking.

The left end of the mural was painted in an organic design. At the left, one of two tigers was just visible.

The first red tiger was partly defaced by sketches and swirls of spray paint. Its face, with gnashing teeth, looked less fierce because of the defacing paint.

The one of the red organic swirls was painted to look like a ribbon curling through the design.

The second red tiger was crouched low to the sidewalk and its body was partly covered with the swirls of the organic design.

The other red tiger's tail formed a loop. Below it, one of the red organic swirls changed from a red line into a long red ribbon.

Tiger's Head

The head of the second tiger looked fierce with its gnashing teeth and huge eye. In this instance the tagged name over it did not obscure the tiger's face.

Just past the leftmost end of the mural was a metal chain-link gate. The two red tigers mural itself ended with a patch of organic swirls.
