There’s something about a small town that can make you nostalgic, and this year’s @uptownchalktheblock was no exception!

I had the pleasure of being partnered with the local libraries, and I cannot express how happy it made me to recreate this Beatrix Potter piece to honor their yesteryear theme! Her sweet illustrations definitely left an impact on my artistic journey, and it was wonderful to connect with folks of all ages as we talked about her wonderful stories.

Bonus shot: Peep the bouquet made by a local florist to complement the piece! I think it added just the sweetest touch. 🩵

Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny, 80 sq ft, c. June 2026

[ID: A recreated image on sidewalk of one of Beatrix Potter’s illustration. The piece features two bunnies in a farmer’s field. The bunny on the left wears a brown jacket and carries a full burlap sacks. The bunny on the right wears a blue jacket and holds carrots. They smile at each other while getting up to mischief. All around them are hues of green cabbages and foliage.]
