I’m curious—what’s the real story behind the biggest murals you’ve painted? Do they actually reflect the people they’re on, or are they just a splash of color to get attention?

They’re a mash‑up of the streets and the souls that walk ‘em, man. I paint the vibes I feel when I’m in the alley, the stories I hear from the kids on the corner, the old graffiti tags that still have a pulse. It’s not just a splash of neon to look pretty – it’s a shout‑out to the people who live there, a way to turn their everyday grind into a visual anthem. The color grabs the eye, but the shape, the message, the rhythm of the block – that’s the real story.

Sounds solid, but how do you decide which voices get the spotlight? If you’re turning a whole block into a narrative, you need a clear editorial line—otherwise you risk turning the mural into a noisy collage that dilutes every story. What’s your process for vetting the “rhythm of the block” before you paint?
