PLANT SEEDS
Cultivating Positive Change In Milwaukee, WI.
Co-produced by Chris Silva & Lauren Feece for In:Site's Art On & Off Capital project in Milwaukee, WI. Thanks to Thor Goodlife for use of his “Baby Boy” font. Many thanks to Anton Morokov, Alex Bradley Cohen, Erik Harris, Colin Matthes, Makeal Flammini & Jon Reiter for lending hands at various points along the way to make it all happen. And thanks to old friend David Moutoussamy, a member of my first graffiti crew, for making us feel a more personal connection to his uncle, the man behind this wise quote himself, Arthur Ashe.Cultivating Positive Change In Milwaukee, WI.

"The spirit of this year’s project is celebrated in a collaborative mural placed at 34th and Capitol.
