I walked into a big board room in Spring 2015 with a map of the City of Houston. The map included green, yellow, and red pens throughout Houston, with a green one down the street from my childhood home. I was immediately confused why MY neighborhood and street was highlighted on this map, and what it was symbolizing. It was the start to a city-wide art transformation, which I couldn’t be more proud of to create and support.

 

MiniMurals started in 2015, when Noah and Elia Quiles of UP Art Studio approached me about helping with this project. We already worked together on several other large mural and art projects, and I became their digital marketing partner. Together, we were able to grow the Mini Murals project to over 250 boxes with more than 40 artists across the City of Houston.

Work Involved

In 2015, I created the MiniMurals.org website, including an interactive map locating each mural and connecting the painting to the artist. Each artist bio describes their work, and displayed their paintings on a single map. Today, there are more than 250 Mini Murals and 40 artists on the website and the project continues to grow.

 

Chasing Frozen Waterfalls Near Cleveland Ohio

I’m spending the weekend in Ohio, visiting my grandma, family, and the snow. It’s currently -2°, which is a bit warmer than yesterday’s -4°.....if those 2° really make a difference. Either way, it’s dang cold.  

Since we don’t get much snow in Houston (except the other week), I’ve been taking advantage of having a white winter. The locals think I’m crazy for wanting to go on walks around the neighborhood and do handstands in the snow, but when in Ohio... am I right? 

Here are some of my favorite photos from the trip.
