COSTA MESA, CA - JULY 21: Mike Asner, creator of the KobeMural Instagram maps and Kobemural.com, stands in front of Tyke Witnes' mural at El Toro Bravo Meat Market in Costa Mesa, Tuesday, July 21, 2020. Even in a pandemic, the Kobe mystique is thriving with nearly 200 tribute murals. When Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and seven others were killed in a helicopter crash on Jan. 26, artistic fans found a way to express their grief by creating huge tribute murals days after the Lakers' star's death. Ardent fan Mike Asner was so moved by what he saw, he created the KobeMural Instagram account to map the location of the murals, which now number nearly 200 in Southern California alone. This was one of the first murals that was created, just a couple days after Kobe Bryant's death. (Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times)
