This mural celebrates the city's 40th anniversary and features celebrated drag performers Jasmine Masters, Cake Moss, and Pickle, the inaugural Drag Laureate. Smith's photo-realistic depiction captures their larger-than-life presence against a bright blue sky and fantastical landscape, symbolizing daily life in West Hollywood. Elements such as a playful dog, the PickUp trolley, and iconic local landmarks are artistically integrated into the mural.

The mural will remain on display until June 2026, enriching West Hollywood's vibrant cultural identity.
