Here's some photos from the Migration Is Not A Crime mural, this was one of my favorite pieces I've ever done. Painting on the ground while the skatepark was open was a pain but I'm stoked with how it turned out. Huge thank you to @dave_ruggeri, @hellomynameisroyal , @powermanatee, @sprinkle.bear (and I think a couple other people but it's been 5 years so I forgot) for lending a hand on this and thank you to @kimbowee616 for helping to make it happen! This entire mural was done as a stencil, what a wild process. Drone 📸 @karaemurphy, ground photos by @erikatownsleyphoto

I was feeling pretty burnt out so I never did get around to posting it this summer so here it is, the finished mural I painted for @pharmhousewellness. Huge thank you to Casey for letting me have full creative freedom on this one, you’re a rare client and this project is one of my all time favorites because of it. Also a big thank you to the amazing staff for putting up with me being in the way of their day to day operations. I did some makeshift drone shots using the lift but have some actual drone footage coming as well.

Here’s a mural I finished a few weeks ago at the Gerald R. Ford International Airport. It was a fun project but a ton of work. When social distancing started to become a thing, I switched my work schedule to going in after the last departure in order to avoid people and ended up working super late. Being completely alone in the airport was a surreal experience to say the least but I was honestly way more productive than during the day. They’re looking to do more murals in the future with different artists so stay tuned and stay safe. .

I'm out of storage on my phone so it's forcing me to edit all this footage I've taken over the years and have never done anything with. Finished mural for GR Cannabis Co from summer 2024. Painting around this corner on such a tall way was suuuper tricky but it worked out in the end. Trying to keep the same angle for the bridges so they look accurate was a fun challenge. It's one of my favorites from over the years but honestly, they're all kinda my favorite.

"Songs of Itinerancy and Permanence”, a new print based on the mural I painted for @daacgr back in 2020. I went to print it last year but decided to redraw it with more detail. I printed a version for @flatstock @posterinstitute SXSW, a version without the text and also some test prints. If you're in Austin stop by Moontower Exhibit Hall at the Downtown Marriot, Saturday and Sunday 10-5pm

"Songs of Itinerancy and Permanence”, a new print based on the mural I painted for @daacgr back in 2020. I went to print it last year but decided to redraw it with more detail. I printed a version for @flatstock @posterinstitute SXSW, a version without the text and also some test prints. If you're in Austin stop by Moontower Exhibit Hall at the Downtown Marriot, Saturday and Sunday 10-5pm

Like birds, humans are migratory creatures. Our migrations may not always feel as literal as the migration patterns of a bird, moving north in the spring to nest and flourish and south in the winter to guarantee food and sun; but they are equally necessary. Sometimes we migrate like birds, following the warm weather and twelve hour days. Other times we migrate within, shifting to people or places or thoughts within our own habitats that help us feel most at home. And like birds, sometimes we are forced to flee. Our homes can become unsafe and refuge must be sought elsewhere. We all deserve a safe place so when you see another in distress, migrating for the sake of safety or community or refuge, welcome them home. We are all from the same flock and we all deserve a safe place to fly.

I painted this mural back in the fall of 2020 and never actually posted it. Due to weather and a busy skatepark, it's no longer there, but it had a good run.

Special thanks to @sprinkle.bear for taking my rough draft (and honestly not very good) outline of an artist statement and completely rewriting it to what it is now.

I'm super excited to say that I'll be part of @flatstock put on by @posterinstitute as part of SXSW this year! If you're in Austin, stop by Moontower Exhibit Hall, March 13-15th from 10-5pm, see ya there!

Immigrants make this country great, ICE makes this country unsafe. Love your neighbor, get ICE off our streets.

This mural concept drawing is from sometime around 2018, it might be time for a refresh and a print run.

Behind the scenes of our mini documentary about Grand Rapids' local artist Nick Nortier also known as Old Growth Creative.

This was a fun one for me to direct, as Josh and I worked closely together to make this project happen over a period of weeks in August of 2018.

Link in my bio of you'd like to check it out!
