Nashville Arts profiles my works

This has been a goal of mine to break down the wall of publishing a graffiti artist in this very conservative  magazine, which had never been done. So here it is , after the success of my mural in 12 South , they were itching to do this story , written by a very talented and creative soul from the Chicago area new to Nashville Lily Hansen. Thanks Lily for such a great write up, and Nashville Arts  for finally opening your doors to a new kind of creativity.  GRAFFITI LIVES

12 SOUTH LOVE MURAL

So first off let me apologize for the 5 month delay of post , I have been trying to keep up w/ new website as well as commissioned pieces. Now thats thats done , here is my next project after the last post , back in June. Miranda Whitcomb Pontes of restaurants  (Burger Up & Josephine) commissioned me to do a mural for the neighborhood of 12 South, which is my childhood stomping grounds, so needless to say I'm very honored to be a part of this project. Other than the temp being about 95 everyday , this was a blast to see how the community responded to a graffiti mural. All and all I got two thumbs up. Thanks Miranda for your support of my arts, and thanks to the 12South community.........

CUSTOM WALKWAY @ POP NASHVILLE

So, after doing the exterior wall and interior door for Pop, I closed it out w/ this funky walkway leading up to the entrance door. The original concept as you can see in the 1st pic was the multi colored tape look that waterfalls down the stairs from a pinterest pic ; however, my work was cut out for me and my poor knees for this never ending tape off job. Not to be discouraged, it all started to come together , when the owners shifted the gears and changed the color scheme a bit to tone it down , which was a great idea. This was a great learning experience for me , and the overall project was 2 thumbs up . I have to say a special thanx to my Natalie for helping me w/ this project 3 days straight.

Introducing POP Nashville

This is one of my most recent and favorite jobs so far this year. Introducing POP Nashville , a place for pop up dining as well as events  in East Nashville. I just finished doing the exterior wall w/the assistance of my homie Rex2. I am currently working on an interior project for the restaurant, so stay tuned for the final pic of that. This project is started by Sarah and Brad  Gavigan on Venice Beach, Ca. , they also started Otaku South, an occasional ramen shop in the deep south. I am happy to be a part of their new venture, and especially, because it's on the East Side. This has been a great addition to my portfolio . If in the East Nashville area, look up into the sky opposite side of Barista Palor, on Gallatin Rd. just before Eastland Ave.
Here are the links to Pop and Otaku
