I love an opportunity to weave some local history into the work. This recent wall is located just a few blocks from the 100 year old electric railway arches built by Henry Ford to supply his factories in Detroit. The rail line only operated for a few years but the concrete and steel relics remain over a century later.

Thanks .colors for the fun opportunity!

Some new portraits in the studio and around the neighborhood by for the new Brooklyn edition of 🕺🏻

It is wild to think that it’s been about 10 years since I painted this piece in the East Village at the Project Renewal Men’s Shelter on 3rd Street for 🤯

Lately, I’ve been traveling to create work without any preconceived design and I just spend a bit of time there before starting the piece. It’s always a bit stressful at the beginning but as soon as the idea coalesces the process becomes really satisfying and feels like new growth. This painting is about the new growing out of the old, partially inspired by a few little shrubs growing atop the Parroquia de San Miguel de Arcángel.

Thanks again to the best hosts Annie and Juan Carlos for the opportunity!

Managed one last gasp of summer while painting in Michigan last week at the first . Massive thanks to .colors for bringing me out for this fun double wall challenge complete with unlimited access to ice cream and frozen custard to get us through the long days!

The mural depicts the Alvin Clark, the first vessel built in Trenton, a place that would go on to be an important center of shipbuilding in the Great Lakes region. The Alvin Clark capsized in a gale in 1864 in Green Bay but was later discovered in the 1960s resulting in the ship being raised and put on display. Unfortunately there was no conservation plan in place and the old ship rotted beyond feasible restoration. Built of white oak, the ship had come full circle from tree back into soil.
