YOU ARE WELCOME

“You Are Welcome” 3020 14th Street NW (near Irving) Columbia Heights, Washington DC - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Immigrants and people of color enrich our communities with invaluable cultural depth, extending our awareness into the broader world outside of our borders. Without these populations, the American tapestry simply would not exist. #CHELOVEYouAreWelcome: A four-story mural wrapped in October 2018, via the Murals DC Project for Unity Health Care’s Upper Cardozo Health Center in beautifully diverse Columbia Heights Washington, DC. Huge thank you to all of the neighbors and regulars that made this project so special. I hope you like your new colors!  Huge thanks to Damon Plater and Mas Paz for the assistance ✨ Check out JAH’s new piece at the south end of the building ✊🏾

My tribute to the Universal Capoeira Angola Center on U Street Washington, DC as part of the Style Symposium DC graffiti jam. ✨🍋🌴🍍✨ Big thanks to all of the artists that painted, and everyone that came out to support. Alley length burners by 11 different graff artists will be up for 4 weeks until the new Paul Robeson mural begins installation at this site. Come out and catch some flicks before these go bye bye! 1351 U Street NW, Washington DC (just east of 14th and U St). Big s/o to @uptown_morrissey for making this happen.
