Last weekend I travelled back to Houston Texas, for the HUE Mural Festival and this time I brought my family along. We all had a great time Houston is a warm city with loads of southern hospitality. I really have to acknowledge Gonzo and his family for all of their hard work in making this event a huge success. A special thanks goes out to my dude Deck, Flip and Kween for their added love and support. Dam I can’t forget Pilot, who got me my paint! All in all Texas is becoming another one of my hubs for painting, family and pure goodness
For this outing I wanted to do some “Pop Art”. So I reached back to my childhood and remember Wonder Bread. I always liked the packaging, primary colors and design. I began just drawing as usual and a face began to emerge then the lettering, WONDER. I knew I would use all the red yellow and blue bubbles around the image but still didn’t know how I would tie it all together to be a cohesive mural. During the sketching process I was having a conversation with a fellow artist and money kept surfacing as the most important thing. It irritated me that we as artist have become so engrossed about money. Don’t get it twisted I enjoy painting and earing a living for what I do but dam I never want to forget the reason I became an artist in the first place… thus the inspiration for the caption…
THEY WONDER HOW MUCH BREAD THEY CAN MAKE…
I WONDER IF I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
