Congrats to @fastredcar @fwstaff and the @forwardwarrior Crew on another year showcasing over 80 muralists in the city.

I’m fortunate to have worked on initiatives and projects with many of these talented visual artists like @seanfahiestudio @wfjrfilms and @occasionalsuperstar whom I used to manage.

Much love to @highcontrast_atl Squad

If you didn’t make it out this weekend be sure to stop by and as always support local arts and culture.

“Daydream” 🌸 My Forward Warrior ‘25 mural! I’ve been focusing more on color blocking this year while still keeping my signature organic shapes and whimsy. I’m so deeply obsessed with this one!

Big thank you to my super sweet & talented helper @katkarmas - could not have done it without you - esp the tall parts🙃 And as always a HUGE thank you to @forwardwarrior @fastredcar and @fwstaff - I’m so lucky to be part of this event every year.

If you haven’t checked out all the new murals that went up take an afternoon and go see for yourself! Mine is located at 597 Tennelle ST SE 🌸

“Keep it Whimsical” (2025)
🪿🎩👦🏻🐢🧸💖⛱️⭐️☁️🧦

My finished mural for @forwardwarrior 2025!

A lot of people asked me about the meaning of this mural. My answer? It’s simply a reminder that, from time to time, we should (re)connect with our inner child—nurture them, lighten things up, and allow space for playfulness.

Honestly, I painted this one for the sake of whimsy. I just wanted to create something colorful, silly, and a little magical 🪄✨

Huge thanks to @forwardwarrior for having me, @fwstaff for taking such good care of all the artists, and to everyone who stopped by to show love and appreciation!

Special shoutouts to my friends who came by to enjoy the festival and hang out with me, to my fellow artists for being awesome, and last but definitely not least, to my love @joyferror for the assistance and constant encouragement to keep creating whimsical stuff.

Thank you, Cabbagetown. Thank you, Atlanta. Much love! 😘💖🙏🏽

P.S. Extra thanks to my puppy Amélie for modeling in front of the mural and making it even cuter 🐶🐾✨
