Just thought I'd update you all.

Within the first week I was here I popped over there and approached the manager. I explained that it was from a long time ago and my work has improved and that I didnt really care to have my name there. I showed him a small postcard with some photos on it of my recent work. He said 'no problem' to me concerning taking off my last name. Was quite simple actually.

The funny thing is - as important as this seemed to me - I have yet to get over there and do it. I think I must agree with Geary mostly. I had forgotten what a bad neighborhood this place is in. Walking around made me realize no one notices the mural anyway - and it is really a store with a lower income clientele...even for regular Walmarts. Im not bashing Walmart mind you - what better place to go for a cheap package of tube socks? But, I think Geary is right - it almost feels not worth the time to go over there and match the color to wipe the name off. I get the distinct impression not one person has ever even noticed the thing!
