Paint box 2021
I never really talked about this but I DID A PUBLIC MURAL LAST SUMMER! This is my first project under my name for the city and I was super proud to work on it! I was hoping to meet some other artists in the area but I didn’t see many people out. Last time I worked on a paintbox project, I was assisting my friend Perla Mabel while watching another friend, Naija Nine work across the street. I did however meet someone from the committee who put the program together! In their Call to Artists, they featured me working on my box along with other completed projects. Got a good Twitter shout out too!
I worked on it quite early so I could finished before taking a few summer getaway trips. It took a total of 2 days. I was practically done the first day but stepping back, I wanted to add more dimension with the tones. Here’s what my original sketch looked like: close to the original but really just inspiration for what would occur once I started working.
These are the final images 😊 Much more vibrant and deep in the way that the waves pop! I also snuck a cute little heart in my design too! I made a little reel working on it here! If you are in the Savin Hill, Boston area, go check it out right next to the Harp + Bard Restaurant
If you visit, PLEASEEEE take pics! I would love to see you in the neighborhood 😊 but until then,
I’ll talk to y’all soon,
