I was one of six artists chosen to participate in this project along side, Paper Frank from Atlanta, Chore Boogie from S.F, Angry Woebots L.A and INKTEN with ClogTwo from Singapore.
I was asked to paint a mural in "Little Five Points" an artsy neighborhood in
Atlanta. The theme for all artists was "Open Your World" and we each got a shot to express what that means to us. My mural was painted on a brick surface 20 ft tall by 100 ft wide completed in four days during some serious HOTLANTA weather! I chose to paint a huge character, the title for the mural is "Nocturnal Wisdom". I feel open your world represents and endless pursuit of growth through wisdom and knowledge. The character represents mankind in a state of meditation while the owl represents the never ending abundance of wisdom we can never achieve to overstand the mysteries and secrets of the universe.
To help beter understand how it all went down check out the videos and

We also had a little time to celebrate the completion of our murals by having
an art exhibit at ABV gallery, check out the opening reception on this video a

The Icing on the cake was the final VIP Press event at Flux with a reception for the A3C Hiphop festival & the Heineken Mural Project artists. Dj Premier, Dj Scratch, Maceo of DeLa Soul and many more represented. All six artists created a live painting collaboration during the event. I really enjoyed my short stay in
Atlanta and hope to return some day for some new adventures. So Big shout out to Art Whino, ABV Gallery and the staff there, Remezcla, Heineken crew, and Paper Frank for showing me the REAL ATLANTA!! On to the next one!!
