Essex Modern City has always been a creative playground, and this past weekend, it came alive again through the ESX Art Paint Jam 7. I painted my very first solo mural (with some love + backup from Soup 💖), connected with insanely talented artists, and captured moments that remind me why I do what I do. From bikes and beers to bold brushstrokes — this one’s for the community, for the culture, and for anyone who needs the reminder: be kind to your mind.

The Bang Bang Bar mural project allowed me to explore new creative techniques, collaborate with talented partners, and document the journey through a multi-part storytelling series.
