Many of Chico’s memorial pieces for dead kids can’t help but touch your heart. But I’m not much of a fan of his ubiquitous commercial murals, his rendering is fairly crude and the subject matter dull. I have to look at insipid smiley faces on a yellow background for the dental clinic on Avenue A, and a crude rendering of the Band Kiss, (plus more smiley faces), on a bar on First Street. Chico often incorporates corporate logos into his murals, but I’m fairly sure that it is at the store owner’s prompting, not Coke or Pepsi. But who knows.
