My grandfather built / painted this sign. I painted the butterfly for him. I was 17 at the time, our first and only professional collaboration. This sign is still standing and I smile every time I drive by. Love you, Arthur Sell. Thank you @hallberg.butterfly.gardens.
I don’t want to live in a world where there’s no @banjofreak 💔😥💔

A few months ago, I had the privilege of painting a “Stompedelic” sculpture for the @athletics outside the Oakland Coliseum. On Tuesday, the piece was installed at @plankoakland, 98 Broadway in Jack London Square. Big thank you Haley and team for all your hard work making this project a reality.
