SUMMER TRIP 2023
MAY - JUN 2023
:)
Me and Brittany Johnson, BRITT PAINTSALOT, hit the road for a couple months and painted murals in Ithaca, New York and then up in Montana for Montana Arts Festival! We did commission murals and got to freestyle murals, too! We always have a blast on the road, meeting other artists, enjoying nature, and spending time together and with our pup, Charlie! We hope you had a good summer too! I’ll be posting more photos here! Thanks for reading!

I am beyond honored that I got to design the Spirit Lake stage for Hulaween this year!!!! It was 2 months of planning. I had to google what a technical drawing was! This is the first time I’ve done anything like this. I’m excited for the possibilities with this project in the years to come. If you were there, I hope you enjoyed it!

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT! I’m stoked to share my latest project!! I created a mural NFT in collaboration with ATX DAO! Collectors of the NFT will be granted governance rights through a decentralized autonomous organization to vote on next the Austin Artist to fund.
This groundbreaking new art program is generating public support for local artists through crypto innovation, NFT technology and immersive mixed reality storytelling.
It’s true that Austin’s growth as a city is massive and that comes with its own challenges for artists, but with initiatives like this, we can bring value to the impermanence of some murals and empower the community to support local artists while preserving this incredible culture.
