House of Dots
Dot is one of the permanent residents of Slab City. She makes little trinkets that she sells to help support herself. If you look carefully at the picture there is a lot going on here. Behind the trailer is where she has a small courtyard where she has her living space and trinkets for sale.
As we spent some time talking to her, she told us that the murals on the trailer appeared overnight without her knowledge. I've seen the work the artist on the right in different places in the Imperial Valley. He is a pretty talented artist. We saw his work in Bombay Beach also. And of course as with most of Slab City, its 420 time all the time.
The artist Honor719 has been doing art like this for a long time since the 80's. I looked him up online and he is a trained artist with a couple of degrees. He has painted murals like this one all over the West coast and usually does images of famous people. The mural in Bombay Beach was from the movie Bonnie and Clyde and portrayed the actors from the film. Like this one, it was done really well.
