A conductor's hands were painted on the side of the first of a few buildings. One hand held a baton and appeared to be conducting the washes of color that covered the building to the left.

The washes of color extended all the way down the alley, almost to the alley's end. Dark (almost black) colors mixed with brighter colors covering the alley facing buildings.

The artist's signature was found at the very top of the building, just above the conductor's hands. That signature read, "Hueman."

Painted over garage doors, that slid sideways open, displayed a happy and bright spraypainted design.

Windows were surrounded by boldly spraypainted designs. The colors ranged from black to the palest of pinks.

The entrance to a restaurant that sold "Tacos" from "11am to 2pm" was painted black. Brighter colors surrounded the restaurant.

The mural continued down the alley and eventually covered the windows of a warehouse. The roll-up door to the warehouse was also included in the design.

The hands of another conductor were painted on the other end of the same building. These hands held the baton in the lower hand. The artist's signature was present at this end of the mural too.

A window had been painted over using two shades of blue paint. Sometime after it was painted, someone broke that window.
