This year i was commissioned to do a mural for Nike’s Motel No Tell in Huntington Beach…..They wanted something retro and of team rider Kolohe Andino so i had to go a bit out of my “steez” to make it happen….It was definitely a challenge but was happy with the results….
In the process, I had to get approval by Huntington Beach City Council which was a total nightmare….These were the initial drawings i did for the mural but were rejected by the City Council….I must admit i like the new version better but it was a bit frustrating being critiqued by a 65 year old woman with zero art credentials….
Some other art i created inside the Motel…
Also hit up the Camera Both Room with my man STINK…..
