Still taking this inālast night, our collaboration "Hitchhikers" brought home Regional Gold and National Silver at the National Mural Awards.
This piece was created with
@_emilyding during
@overlayfest Fest in Springfield, Missouri, as a tribute to the origins and mythology of Route 66. What started as an idea about movement, history, and the spirit of the road became something bigger through collaborationālayered perspectives, shared intuition, and a lot of trust in the process.
This was our first time painting together, and it meant a lot to step into that space with someone whose work Iāve admired and respected for a long time. Thereās a different kind of energy that comes from building something side by side, and Iām proud of what we created.
Grateful to the
@national_mural_awards for the recognition, and big respect to all the artists pushing the work forward and taking home well-earned honors. The bar keeps rising.
"um thanks for liking my face, I guess" - Emily
