I remember when Chris and I painted this piece. We spent too much time talking sh%t and having a blast that day instead of painting. We were one of the last crews done. In fact, we had to hide between the pillars to dodge oncoming cars in order to finish it. It was my birthday the day before & what a great present.
Sadly, instead of showcasing our cultural contributors, we tend to build over them and wonder why we have an identity crisis.
