As he painted this particular mural, he witnessed hundreds of pigeons flying in the area. So he decided to incorporate the pigeon into the mural as a symbol where the Japanese and American cultures can converge. You can see other works by him at Hellion Gallery which is located across the street from the mural, on the second floor (by appointment only).
