Artist John Cornejo, 19, (top) and Franky Vasquez, 19, (center) paint a mural titled, 'Hanuman' on Sunset Avenue in Venice on Friday, September 13, 2008. The Mural of Hanuman - The Monkey God, was inspired by Santa Monica Ploce Officer and Yoga instructor Erik Milosovich. This Monkey-like God is a central character in one of the most revered books of the ancient Vedic literature of India. In the story of the Ramayana, Hanuman becomes a supernatural hero and uses his powers to battle evil armies of the demonic Ravana. In a classic drama of good versus evil, Hanuman acts not only as a hero but is always empowered by unselfish service and love towards all beings. And It is in the spirit of service that officer Milosovich has been volunteering to work with local youth to promote service to the community. Through film classes, martial arts training, and Yoga he has lured local youth to turn away from at-risk behavior and channel their talents into art. The air brush and spray paint mural can be viewed at Sunset Av. and Rose Av. , east of Lincoln Blvd. in Venice 90291.
