E2 BEGINS

Tomorrow, I will start the second E in the Explore series, only leaving O to be painted.
In a lot of ways, E2 will act as a counterpart to the recently painted L, only a half mile away. The colors will respond to each other and similar techniques of transparency will be implemented. Both are all the "hidden gems" of the series, tucked in alleys behind fences and dumpsters. Below is a picture of the wall (red on the right, near corner of 23rd & Guilford) as well as the original painting that the mural will be based on. The model for this piece is Tony Byrd, who also posed for the first E in the series.

Final Stages of This Exploration

Well there are three more of these pieces to go...looks like the series will be complete this year!

Tomorrow I will be starting "L". A darker of the pieces from the original series "L" contained a man falling lifeless along a diagonal lavender stripe. The adaptation of this mural twists the energy a bit,  yet hopes to maintain some of the sobriety of the original. I plan to be out most of tomorrow afternoon and Thursday if you'd like to stop by!
