Future Ancestor #1
Painting currently on exhibit at the Arts Annual gallery show @creativepinellas.
The exhibit is on display until December 31.
This is one of the artworks I’ve created recently using form and shape as a visual vocabulary and language, which I then translate into the subject matter and themes of the artworks.

Art Deco inspired mural at a private residence in Snell Isle Florida.
This mural was fun and challenging to achieve, between the extreme heats and the application of gold leaf on a textured wall.
The City of Tampa partnered with Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful to invite a dozen local artists to create works of art on storm drain concrete tops at Robles Park in Tampa.
The artists’ designs will focused on the “Only Rain Down the Drain” educational campaign educating citizens on why they should not dump pollutants down the drain.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, stormwater runoff is the number one threat to water quality in the nation. In Tampa, every time it rains, pesticides, excess fertilizer, oils and detergents, lawn and street debris, and other pollutants drain into ditches, canals, and rivers, which then ultimately drain directly into Tampa Bay.
These newly painted storm drains will be visible reminders to the public that our neighborhoods and waterways are closely connected and need to be protected. They will also help to further beautify Robles Park.
Mosaic created for exhibit at Green Bench Breweing Company, curated by Mize gallery.
Mosaic created for exhibit at USF College of Marine Science.
Inspiration came from the Art & Science Night. Artists explored marine science labs, did hands on experiments, and talked to local scientists about their work. The goal is to inspire artists to create a new piece of art, which is then showcased in an exhibit.
Restaurant murals painted at Red Thread Restaurant, St. Petersburg, FL. Laura Spencer – Miss Crit – was lead artist on this project and designs are painted as instructed and designed by artist & client.

Part of the 3rd annual Letterheadz show created & curated by @the_one_of_many_
This year everyone did letters on spray paint boxes, it was such a rad exhibit. It was awesome seeing everyone’s creativity using/incorporating the cardboard, plus so many SICK lettering styles.
I used a Montana black paint box and incorporated some elements into my design, plus the Cheech Wizard of which I am a huge fan & collector.
Gators paradise
Painted with my friend @klonism
This mural was fun and cool to do some graff style characters, this one was fun but it was HOT sun all day on this wall.
New mural in Tampa in the Tampa Heights neighborhood, it was a pleasure collaborating with everyone on this wall. Salud!!!
13 local artists present: “INNER PEACE”. Artists have power, they can help lift your mood on a cloudy day when you see something colorful around the corner.. For the halfway point to Tampa Walls mural festival we wanted to keep the momentum going with this beautiful wall in @historictampaheights – a Tampa Walls mural school initiative.
Tampa Walls Mural School is a collaborative effort between local non-profits, Tampa Walls Mural Festival’s artist in residency programs with @mergeculture and artists in the @worldwidewalls network. This program was kickstarted by the friends and family of @manmademurals as a program of knowledge sharing in our communities to carry on legacy of artist Matt Callahan. We teach artists how to fund projects, hold classes for artists 12+ to learn mural and graffiti painting techniques from some of the best artists in the world.
This production was created with the help of 3 children ages 12+, 5 adult mural school participants, and 13 professional artists in our community, as well as a partnership with @historictampaheights neighborhood association, the Bob Gilbertson YMCA in Tampa Heights @centralcityy, and @changinglanesautogroup.

New mural BLACK HISTORY MATTERS
It was an honor to participate in creating a mural for the community in St Petersburg Florida.
I painted the R in HISTORY, it is a tribute to the black Seminoles where many escaped slaves assimilated into the native tribe. Therefore creating a unique intersection of black, native and Florida history.
Located at the @woodsonmuseum and unveiled for the Juneteenth celebration.
20 local artists came together with support from @stpetefl and the Carter G. Woodson African American Museum to create an updated street mural on 9th Ave South.

New mural in La Loma Neighborhood in Puebla Mexico
The theme for this mural is children and their importance to humanity and the need for society to offer love and help in this world for the children’s future.
This mural embraces the notion of children as seeds for the future of humanity. Depicted is a little girl sprouting from a harvest field like a seed being born. This represents that children need to be nurtured, loved and cared for with a consistent dedication so that they may bloom like a harvest, therefore bearing fruit to a brighter future. The little girl is seen reaching out as she blooms and a helping hand is seen reaching in to provide help and care.
The little girl and hands are all painted in multiple skin tones to highlight the fact that as a society, we (all races) are responsible for helping and loving all children regardless of race color or circumstance. In each child is a seed with the possibility to manifest their existence in a positive and noble manner, therefore contributing the the benefit of humanity and our future in this world we must also nurture.
This mural was made possible by La Rueda Puebla (and Osel paints) which is a foundation dedicated to uplifting neighborhoods through murals and positive messages. They have been doing great work in the Puebla area of Mexico for over 6 years, and it was a pleasure and honor to be able to contribute this piece to the La Loma Neighborhood. The people of La loma embraced me and this mural fully and showed support by bringing me atole and tamales and memelas to eat and great vibes from all the eclectic characters of the neighborhood. The kindness and hospitality of La Loma was palpable and a gift I will never forget. This mural would not be possible without the continued assist from the good homie Sufre who worked with me every day making this mural happen. All the love & gratitude homie.
New mural painted in the jungle in Akumal Mexico.
This mural depicts a Mayan woman enjoying the breeze, taking a moment to relax and enjoy the caress off the wind on her face.
Este mural muestra una mujer Maya disfrutando la brisa, tomando un momento para descansar y disfrutar el soplido del vientos sobre su cara.
Thank you to Akumal Arts Festival and Klonism for the help making this happen.
New mural in Bozeman Montana
For the upcoming The Break Room beer lounge. Total of 5 murals.
This mural features wildlife from the state of Montana, including moose, bear and wildcat. These characters are sharing space and a beer with the Bridger Mountain range in the background. This is the main wall featured in The Break Room.
This mural is an artistic interpretation of the god Aegir.
Aegir One of the most important figures in Norse mythology was Aegir or Ægir. Loved and feared as the Commander of the Sea, he also earned great respect among the Germanic tribes as brewer for the Gods of Asgard. His huge underwater feast hall was the one place where the Gods couldn’t fight, or they’d be bannished from Aegir’s Hall forever. A serious punishment since the place had drinking-horns that magically refilled themselves with the best ale and mead in the Nine Worlds.
These 2 murals are a portal that incorporates inspiration from visual illusions and architectural doorways as inspirations. The doorways create a portal into the visual illusion, the optical illusion adds movement and depth to the portal.
This mural features an anatomical heart made out of hope and barley and wheat veins.
