Description
"Salvador and Gloria Torres were invited to create a mural for the children of Barrio Logan. Salvador and Gloria Torres design this mural as a story book of the bay front park that is now known as the Cesar E. Chavez Water front Park. In this slide view Salvador Torres creates "Don Cacawate", a funny character from his childhood stories heard in the labor fruit and grape camps of California. Salvador Torres finds an image from a peanut butter label that inspires Salvador Torres' recollections of "Don Cacawate". There are many funny stories about the adventures of "Don Cacawate". The strawberry is inspired from a character that walked by Salvador and Gloria Torres' mural site on his lunch hour walks." Salvador Torres
