This mural is located in the parking lot of Uptown Body & Fender at 401 26th Street in Northgate. The mural is by Ernest Doty, David Polka, Thomas Christopher Haag, members of the Groundscore Collective, and was painted in 2013. The mural was painted using recycled house paint.
The mural was a commission for the owner of Uptown Body & Fender, Giovanna Tallense. The artists write: "we chose a motif very close to her heart – the image of the three wise men from Judaeo-Christian tradition. Our interpretation references a wide range of aesthetic traditions and belief systems and alludes to the potential of positive manifestations of masculinity in a changing world."
