The design has been approved!

My next mural project will be on the Greenway in south Minneapolis the first weekend of August! I am so excited the city has approved the design I created in collaboration with youth from the Native Youth Arts Collective (Little Earth) and my summer interns.

Concept sketch- the girls in the program were my biggest inspiration for this design!

Colored version of the sketch

Mock up #1- what it will potentially look like under the bridge when finished.

Mock up #2- just another angle 

Mock up #3- view from the actual path of the Greenway

Treehouse Records Community Mural Project!

Another mural completed on the southside! I teamed up with Whittier Community and MCAD to create this project! I worked with youth during 3 design sessions to help me and my interns design the mural. Then during Lyndale Open Streets, 170 community members assisted in painting the mural! After the event my interns and I finished it up!

This was the concept sketch presented to the owner at Treehouse Records. His only feedback was to make the dragon more "friendly". I think we accomplished that. :)

Public Artwork on the Northside!

I have completed artwork to be reproduced on a few utility boxes on West Broadway in north Minneapolis! Very excited to see more of my art on West Broadway!

Here is the concept sketch I submitted to WBC and the City of Mpls for approval. I created the sketch in Photoshop using my Monoprice tablet.
