amex mural

I concepted and co-designed this mural to be displayed in the NYC American Express Tower, as well as the Atlanta office.
The mural is designed so people identify a new quippy element of each time they look at it - from noticing the skateboard’s bandaids & scratches to the illustrator file’s eyeball.

Meet my characters! Each one exemplifying the core parts of ATL & NYC life that I know and love well, whether it be too dang hot for your King of Pops popsicle to survive in Atlanta or knowing that cats are the true boss of a NYC bodega.

POPSICLE KING

King of Pops King and his poor friend who
has melted from the extreme Atlanta heat.

queen of the bodega

Every New Yorker knows a bodega cat is the real
manager and the humans are simply employees.

ATL PEACH & NYC APPLE

Peach & Apple were my first two characters.
As the mural’s grounding figures - and the inspiration for the rest of their friends - they represent their cities well with classic tropes.

Absolutely integral to bringing this mural to life in a crazy turnaround time were Arra Myers & Pablo Perez
