Sooo sad I missed the official opening for Dry Bones Mud House yesterday, but grateful to have been able to collaborate with @amdubyaart on a mural there! Go check out this awesome coffee house and see "Wake dem Bones Up!", more mural art from Amy Ward, and pieces by featured artist Matthew Sheek @sheek_art . #Repost @drybonesmudhouse Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate with us today. I know not everyone could make it, but you were in our thoughts and we are grateful for you! I did fail to mention someone who has been extremely instrumental in this process of getting open and staying open. Probably the most important person who is often overlooked bc of their behind the scenes role but always called upon when the gov’t comes knocking wanting its money. That person is our dear friend and accountant, Robin Calmes. I can’t believe I forgot to mention the one person who does the things I have the hardest time understanding and doing. Thank you Robin so much for your patience with me, for teaching me, and for being compassionate when my head is spinning from all the legalities, numbers, etc. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! #blessings #wakedembonesup #dbmh @rebel_shank @abrampithey @mackenzielayne_42 @theunion525 @grappler87 @syd3143 @djward2023 @juls4life @amdubyaart @sheek_art @cspann28 @emptypocketsfullhearts @sbrooks710 @arbslp @sirhubertfiddleston @ Dry Bones Mud House #essmckeeart (at Dry Bones Mud House)

Tom Bob refuses to simply live in the world. He’s reshaping it. Creating clever street art on common objects in the urban landscape, he’s perfectly personalizing his boring surroundings. (Source)
