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.
