Collaboration with En Masse – Art Basel

December 5th, 2011 – After meeting with Rupert and Fred who are part of EnMasse.info, a Montreal-based art initiative, I was invited to paint in one of their productions. Their productions are composed of having an eclectic group of artists, all contributing their own style while keeping to a black and white color palette. The wall consisted of wheat pastes, spray and acrylic paint. My contribution is the text going down the left side of the hand. The experience painting with over 10 artists on this project made my Miami sun glow and flow brighter.

December 5th, 2011 – I was blessed to run across Kyle, the founder of MLK Community Mural Project. MLK (Moving the Lives of Kids) has been painting all over the world from Miami, Pittsburg, LA, Haiti and Brazil giving kids an opportunity to earn money, learn to paint and inspire each other. The opportunity was born under the stars.  Kyle gave me a spot where I could contribute. I cant wait to work with them again in near future.
