Some shots from yesterday’s public painting project. Thank you to everyone who made the time to visit, the energy was electric. The sun was so bright, the weather was perfect, there was a combo of family, friends, native Chicagoans, and visitors from all over the world. I wish I had created a hashtag because there were hundreds of people taking pictures of themselves immersed in a communal painting. It’s amazing what paint can do. #keithharingtribute #keithharinginchicago #chicagoartist #jamesjankowiak #publicpainting #collaboration #chicago #dcase #portraits #families #selfies #saturdayinchicago #sunshine #perfectday #chicagoculturalcenter #milleniumpark #thegreatlawn Thank you @masonnnathan and @jclems415 for all your help and continuous support!

Grateful to catch this show before it ended, I’m at a loss for words, but while attending this free, open to the public show, a small group of young boys, I’d say 13-14 years old, came in the space like “YO! This is crazy! I count myself, along with a lot of young graffiti writers, as someone who discovered Rammellzee at a pivotal age. He allowed a bunch of us to dream big and to defy being labeled- kudos to @redbullartsny for putting together a heart felt, comprehensive retrospective of the genius that was #Rammellzee #gonebutneverforgotten #thisisnewyorkcity (at Red Bull Arts New York)https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm0ucRBhneX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xgjln8zaaodu
