Next time you’re in the neighborhood of the Fox Library in East Arlington, be sure to check out the “City Fox” mural by Somerville artist James Weinberg on the side of Za Pizza. The mural is a celebration of local wildlife. The fox has become a veritable icon of the neighborhood by virtue of the Fox parade during Feast of the East, the Fox Library and its mini fox murals by Shun Yamaguchi, and Artbeat’s Follow the Fox summer art adventure.
Weinberg is a graphic designer, illustrator, and silk screen printer. His murals, featuring bright graphics and layering shapes and colors carry influences from folk art and silkscreen practices. Several of his murals can be seen at Assembly Row and other locations throughout Boston.
