BIG NEWS YALL!!!
Earlier this week I was selected by the Murals & Main | Stockton mural festival in Stockton, CA to paint alongside Kia Duras-Carter 🎨 & Kone Lathipanya amongst many more legendary artists!!!
As alot of you know, I’ve been doing murals for 18 years now but what makes this one so special is that this will be my first PUBLIC mural in Stockton!! My very first mural ever happened in this city 18 years ago at Stagg High. In the past 5 years though, I’ve done 8 different murals at 8 different schools throughout San Joaquin County in Lodi, Stockton, Lathrop and Tracy- and now finally, I will have one in town that my folks can pullup on and see in real life outside of campus grounds!
As for the design, it is based on notes suggested by Phil Merlo that ultimately represent the essence of nature within the valley. The sketch includes a Tule Elk, a Valley Oak tree, Valley Oak leaves and acorns as well as Chinook Salmon.
Huge thank you to Joe Michael - Real Estate Developer & Phillip Merlo for trusting my vision and abilities and for providing this platform. I’m looking forward to every bit of this!
