On a sunny afternoon in downtown Tampa, Glen Baham stood on the sidewalk outside a corner café, pondering a blank canvas in front of him.⁠ ⁠ Passersby slowed to look at his assortment of abstract art propped along the wall of the Kava Culture Kava Bar — their bold colors, the urban feel.⁠ ⁠ “Nice,” a woman said.⁠ ⁠ “You like it?” said Baham, 27. “Thank you very much.”⁠ ⁠ By day, he’s one of those fast-cycling Jimmy John’s sandwich delivery riders that have become part of the downtown landscape. He’s also a BMX bike enthusiast and skatepark devotee.⁠ ⁠ But after work, he has become this mad-hot local artist, creating pieces outside the kava bar on Franklin and Twiggs streets and sometimes hawking his paintings to downtown businesses.⁠ ⁠ And they sell — more than 50 — and he has commissions for more.⁠ ⁠ Read more about therealmauricebaham at the link in our bio. ⁠ ⁠ ✍️ : Sue Carlton / Tampa Bay Times & 📷 : abaderphoto / Special to the Times
