One of my biggest goals as an artist is to create work that feels functional.

Last week i finished painting all four walls of a school gym which definitely was a big test of art within a functional space. I wanted to create a little world within the gym and at first it felt mostly like a room full of murals. Once we got some basketball in the mix though, it started to feel like the immersive playground I was envisioning from the beginning. Hopefully the kids that experience it everyday feel the same. 

Big thanks to jevontaylor21 and reidsway_ for comin by to shoot around. Thank you rudecatprd oliverrrrrrrrrr mikefogg24 for the video and photo work. 

Thank you to gva_aurora for the project opportunity!

Final pics of the murals are comin soon.
