And it’s pretty sweet! This is located on Columbia Road on the side of Mama Ayesha’s right after you cross the Ellington bridge heading from Woodley Park to Adams Morgan.
You’ll see all the Presidents from Eisenhower to Obama with Mama Ayesha in the middle. And there is even space for one more future president. I think it came out really well. What do you guys think – thumbs up or down? It was done by Karla Rodas who is President of Karlisima Murals & Design. More photos after the jump.

at first glance i thought they were standing with an informally dressed pope… oops!
They should’ve made the dead presidents have that dead Jedi glow.
haha!
“Mama Ayesha, the force will be with you… always”
I was thinking the ex-presidents should be dressed up like the SNL cartoon!!
But yeah, it’s a little corny, but I like it!
Except for that empty grey spot…that is an eyesore! Paint it all in and then paint in the presidents as necessary…
So the next prez is just going to be chilling out by himself. Seems kind of mean.
Maybe the grey is symbolic – “entering a post-racial USA, possibilities are endless/undefined?”
Or paint in a typical suited body and leave the grey head with a question mark over the face. A conversation starter. Maybe make the suited body be wearing a skirt.
Looks great! I saw the artist Karlisima working many months to complete the mural. Well done! Beautiful mosaic flags too.
I like how the artist chose to include the mummified corpse of William Henry Harrison there on the right.
they make them all look the same height. Obama is like a foot taller than that chimp Bush.!
@ Wanksta – HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I guess there is 13 of them if you count Mummy Harrison…maybe it should have been a Last Supper-esque type of mural, except they could be eating some naan, dals, curry, and rice?!?
Chewy – why would they be eating Indian at a Lebanese restaurant?
FAIL! I went there once when I was dating my now-wife who lived nearby and had a fair amount of wine before heading down there…guess I had more than I thought! Not too embarrasing…
Chewy – I was thinking Last Supper too!
Anon at 6:24p – its over man. Let your negativity go. Today marks the time to move on.
I love it!
