Kidballoon x @orioles x @pncbank this beautiful mural is an installment at Camden Yards in Baltimore. Anyone who knows me know my top 3 career goal was to collaborate with the Baltimore Orioles. The icing on the cake is that the bank I actually been banking with for years is sponsoring this project. This was an early BDay present for me. Iām BMore to the core Iām am always repping for my city and pro anything Baltimore. This one was for the Culture and the city ! All my day ones supporters know how hard I grinded over the years for this moment. This mural highlight family and community and how baseball bring families together. If youāre ever at Camden Yards make sure you take a picture next to it and tag me !
STAY TUNED ITS MORE ON THE WAY FROM THIS PARTNERSHIP šš I want to thank everyone who made this possible @gaiastreetart and the team at @pncbank and @orioles

How Do You Create Baltimore? is an ongoing series highlighting the artists, stories, and creative journeys shaping Baltimoreās culture.
Our series premiere features @kidballoon , a self-taught artist from West Baltimore whose dream of collaborating with the Baltimore Orioles became a reality and continues to grow through public art projects across the city. His story shows whatās possible when local talent is nurtured and supported.
Kid Balloon is an Art@Work alumnus, part of a program that empowers Baltimore artists to lead community-driven, large-scale art projects and build sustainable creative careers.
We are currently fundraising to support Art@Work and similar programs that invest in Baltimore artists. Give through December 31 to receive exclusive Artscape thank you merch and entry into our raffle. Link in our bio.

I think I unintentionally did a self portrait of my younger self. The hungry version of myself that was inlove with running the streets tagging leaving my mark where ever I could. This piece speaks to the hopeless dreamer that relentlessly creates the world they want to live in.
If you want to view this piece in person it will be on view at @thebishopgallery starting November 1st
Last month, the Orioles and Baltimore artist Kid Balloon unveiled the 10th installation in the Birdland Murals series, powered by PNC Bank.
