@creativeshields and I met back in 2011 and have been talking about collaborating on a mural ever since! Finally, in 2026 it happened!
When I got the call for a mural project at James Rutter Middle School the first person I told was James Shields and that is when he revealed that he is a former student of Rutter himself (I am not). This was the PERFECT opportunity for us to finally put our creative minds together to form something dope and Im sure this won’t be the last time we do this.
Thank you to the James Rutter staff for putting faith in our talents and providing the platform and MAJOR shoutout to the camera man @mdu_pree for capturing these powerful moments for us.
Also, thank you to @leaveyourmark for always having quality paints available! More interviews from this project coming soon!
