Saturday in San Francisco, fans watched Bay Area artist Maxfield Bala use mostly spray paint to create the painting.
"And then to be able to do it in front of a crowd of San Francisco 49ers fans just means that much more. So it's really fun to be a part of a team's huge history and it's impactful for me as an artist,” Bala said.
Fans walking around the Ferry Plaza Saturday also got to take photos with one of the 49ers' Super Bowl trophies.
