Overview
MakerFest at the Science Museum of Virginia
2016 is my third year of participating in RVA MakerFest, the best fest in Richmond! This year, for the first time, I was able to coordinate with the museum to paint on one of the exterior walls at the exhibition space, making my booth a ~Real Mural Demonstration~!! This design was inspired partly by a friend's band, Early Bizrd and the Bees, and partly by this wonderful campaign by Louis Masai.
This mural was painted in 8 hours with the help of my new assistant, Sarah Apple!
Tattoo & Arts Festival
Just the week after, I got to join a dozen other painters at the Richmond Tattoo and Arts Festival and put up another little bee lady. She was painted 8’ x 8’ on plywood and later auctioned off to benefit Art 180. ART 180 is a Richmond, Virginia based group that creates and provides art-related programs for young people living in challenging circumstances, encouraging personal and community change through self-expression with the goal of turning lives and communities around 180 degrees.
Location: Science Museum of Virginia, 2500 West Broad Street, Richmond, VA 23220 (around back)
