Getting my next project into full gear with major support from @timjanda1 and @simpleheady.

I took a some time to feed my music production self some soul food before I get super busy again on my next art project. The whole track as it currently stands is posted up on my Soundcloud page if the groove grabs you (link in profile) "Learn how to live in The Now! Lot of mothafuckas don't know how to live in The Now. What we got goin' on right now - this is called THE NOW." - @deoncole (check out his hilarious Netflix special which I grabbed that vocal sample from) (at Bucktown Bow & Meow Pet Spa) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnMO2MPgTvQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gfqoxsazzjuc

Here are some shots of the finished mural in the newly revamped Lakeview Low Line space underneath the CTA Brown Line’s Paulina Station. Much gratitude to @yollocalli (youth squad & management), @dillongoodson, the neighbors, and all the folks behind the scenes who helped support and produce this project. Shout out to @lauren_asta and @jcrivera whose soon to be completed murals will seal the deal on this very cool space transformation. • • • #publicart #mural #streetart #streetartdaily #colortherapy #medicinalcolor #vibrantthang #thisislakeview (at Paulina Brown Line)

Great to return to this project with my @yollocalli team today. Looks like we may have some nice weather for wrapping it up this week. The safety yellow CTA overhang is looking like some tasty icing on our cake. 🤩 (at Paulina Brown Line)

I’ll have to wait to get photos in the finished space since it’s still a bit of a construction site, but here’s my finished commission for the new Origin Red Rocks Hotel. • • • #abstractart #mural #interiordesign #colortherapy #medicinalcolor #redrocks (at Origin Hotel)
