The mural covered the entire side of a building. It illustrated a snake-like bird with a long bill, next to a fish.

The bird had a snake-like tail that occupied the rightmost panel of the building. Another version of this mural (or perhaps and earlier version) instead (in this panel) showed a talon holding a doughnut.

Pink drops splattered the rocks below the bird's beak. Perhaps the drops were saliva from the beak.

Pretend Blek Le Rat

./Fish_Bird_Mural_by_Bayne_Gardner_20181001_093444_C18_7324.jpg

Another muralist named Blek Le Rat painted vents with gloves poking out of them. Here a pair of actual gloves were stuffed into an actual vent, thereby creating a fake Blek Le Rat mural within this mural.
