From Tragedy to Triumph, A Street Art Memorial Rises

When Lili Trujillo, the founder and Executive Director of STREET RACING KILLS, a nonprofit organization, reached out to us, her story, message, and mission inspired us to collaborate and create a Street Art Light Pole Memorial. Every year we commit our time and talents to our community. Collaborating with organizations, nonprofits, and people who share our values and ethos in our mission to better humanity, educate and impact local communities with inspirational visual messages, profound art designs, and uplifting mural paintings.

Our goal was to create a light pole memorial mural that pays tribute to her 16yr—old daughter. Valentina unexpectedly left this world on the morning of December 7th, 2013, in a car accident at the intersection of Avalon & Anaheim. We listened to Lili about the things Valentina loved and what she represented and came up with this vibrant, dynamic, and symbolic concept. Every single design element has meaning from the ascending rainbow, stars, unicorn, mermaid, and ombre background. Lili and her organization got this approved by Wilmington's city in Los Angeles, CA, in 48hrs., which is a world record for a mural getting approval in Los Angeles. The minimum approval time in Los Angeles for the mural approval process is 1460hrs. / 2 months (Department of Cultural Affairs). And the most lengthy approval we have seen is still pending going on 4yrs. and 2mths (wowzers!).

On Saturday, September 26th, 2020, Lili Trujillo and her nonprofit organization STREET RACING KILLS  held a Memorial event unveiling and celebrating her daughter Valentina with the Street Art Memorial Mural and Sunflowers. The event was a great success bringing awareness to the dangers of Street Racing and uplifting her beautiful daughter Valentina with a memorial street art mural making her memory last forever!

We are always looking to partner and collaborate with like-minded organizations and non-profits, creating community projects that have positive impact, educate and uplift local communities.
