RECENT WORK
RVA Unity logo
Following the death of George Floyd, Richmond, Virginia became an uneasy location due to the confederate monuments in the center of the city.
To try and help unify, I redesigned the city's logo and placed it in front of the most prominent statue, Robert E. Lee.
After installing the sign, the reaction was extremely positive. Pictures of people with the sign began coming in and there were many calls for t-shirt and stickers.
The reaction
After the success of the logo, the sign was unfortunately graffitied and broken. Instead of fixing it completely, I painted back the design over the graffiti and made the broken legs
take a knee.
The fix
Eventually, the local Richmond press wrote about the success of the logo. I uploaded the design to my online shop and promised to donate half of all the profit to Art 180 and the Richmond Public School art department.
The press
Soon, local businesses, like the Richmond Kickers, asked me to create murals of the design. I painted one of them as an ode to Kehinde Wiley, for his statue Rumors of War only blocks away.
The murals
Through the sales of my online shop, I was able to donate two thousand dollars to both Art 180 and Richmond City Schools art department.
The result
Champion Grill asked me to turn a blank wall in their new sports restaurant into a piece that would attract attention in Charlottesville. UVA had just won the NCAA Tournament, so I painted their Coach, Tony Bennett, dunking over Mike Krzyzewski.

The Inspiration
I designed the entire show to pay homage to the famous Castro Crosswalk.

UVA Football Ad
As a born and bread Virginia Tech hater, this may actually be my proudest ad.
And yes, they actually ran it.
