January 2017 update: Pictured are the two families who collaborated on the beautiful piece of public art: the Stephen and Mychang Krotosky family and the Guido and Patricia Klap family.
There is a new dinosaur in town! In a salute to University City, literacy and the ‘Dinosaur Park’ playground at University City Gardens Park at Governor Drive and Gullstrand Street, amateur artists Guido & Patricia Klap and Mychang Krotosky are collaborating to create an original work of art on the northeast corner of Governor and Gullstrand featuring a newly discovered species of dinosaur (Universaurus Urbem) who just happens to love reading.

Besides the actual painting, it takes a lot of behind the scenes effort to create a public art piece: developing a suitable design and color scheme, cleaning the box, putting on the primary coat, and the stenciling of letters and design, to name a few.
These local artists expect to have their work completed in the next several weeks. Watch for its transformation every time you pass by.
Note: This Transformer Art Project is sponsored by University City Community Association (UCCA), the County Board of Supervisors, and SDG&E as part of its Utility Art program.
