This large scale group mural was created for an art event called Alley Islands. The 2023 event is based around “Music” and each muralist was tasked to create a design on this very loose concept. For this mural I paid tribute to one of my favorite musicians, Jimi Hendrix. In creating this design, I did extensive research into his biographically information to create an accurate image. The way his hands are placed, the direction of the guitar, and the facial expression of the figure were all carefully considered through said research. “Purple Haze” plays with colors and graphic shapes reminiscent of 60’s and 70’s design to create a fun and collaborative mural.
