Last Venice Update, the mural was shown without the names and Update wanted someone to put names to the faces. Gonzo Rock did just that. He showed the mural with the names.

The mural is on the building at 2201 Ocean Front Walk (South Venice Blvd and Speedway) and is part of the Paradise Project.

The Paradise Project, according to their website, is an organization dedicated to celebrating and connecting diverse independent free thinkers who are deeply spiritual about science and nature. We are here to educate, celebrate, and spread an awareness of pantheism – the perception of Albert Einstein, Baruch Spinoza, Alan Watts, and a wide array of scientists, mathematicians, philosophers, poets, and others who teach an enlightened spiritual language and advanced definition of God – that everything, altogether is God; that we are a part of a divine unity; that paradise is here and now.
