Selected to paint a public art cicada for the Cicada Parade-a in Baltimore.
Like a phoenix, cicadas are reborn ever 13 or 17 years to emerge from their slumbers and transform. Although the bug does move on to the next life, I like to think they return to the ground only the repeat the same process.
I also named it Icarus who flew to close to the sun…. or in cicada’s cases…. headlights.
Public art of Baltimore’s favorite food choices. The simplistic style reminds viewers to a chalkboard eateries display for specials or quips to lighten the day. Situated in the Inner Harbor where you have access to all these foods.
This was also The Bolton Art Collective’s first collaborative dive. Check the collective out here.
A Baltimore classic updated. The shoulder feathers refer back to the original Jim Hartzell’s bird and the can he’s holding a nod to the many craft breweries in the region. Almost each one has a baseball themed ale. Camden Yards shares the parking lot with the Baltimore Ravens thus the purple label and wristbands. Baltimore loves their birds and The Oriole Bird will always be number one.
Acrylic paintings mixed with ink.
