“Best Philly” Schuykull Yards Part 1: Victorian
11ft x 9ft Mural Cloth Mounted on Alumalite and cinderblock wall
I moved to west Philly almost 2 year ago during my short time here I’ve taken the time to get acquainted with the community in West Philly. In university city everything feels contemporary and new. When you pass 40th Street, you begin to see the original character of West Philly, and that was something I wanted to highlight with this mural. The Victorian buildings carry a regal, otherworldly presence, surrounded by the many character of the Philly people who lived here
“BEST PHILLY: A play off the iconic local saying, “West Philly is the best Philly,” or “West is best,” this theme will encourage our artists to illustrate all the positive aspects of the work and life taking place in this pocket of the city. From groundbreaking cancer research that will save lives to educational institutions that are shaping the next generation to new and innovative public parks and placemaking spaces to blocks and blocks of neighbors who take care of one another.”

“Best Philly” Schuykull Yards Part 2:
Clark Park
11ft x 9ft Mural Cloth Mounted on Alumalite and cinderblock wall
My second mural for this project“Clark Park”depicts a typical Saturday morning at the farmers Market. I often find myself at the park on the weekends drawing people and sometimes grabbing something to eat from the vendors. A lot of my mural work represents my appreciation of the people living in Philly. I love to create multiple stories with the characters. I allow the viewers to immersed themselves in the work

New York Times:
30 Spots
For the month of April I created 30 daily spots for page 3 of the New York Times Newspaper.
For my theme I though about all the daily things you would encounter walking in the streets of New York City. Workers, leisurely activities, street vendors and other characters from the city were all inspirations for this project. I wanted it to be a love letter to NYC and some of the things I miss living there.
