I spent the last 4 days collaborating with an extremely talented local artist by the name of Danny Rosales aka 'Chivo' http://www.taggedart.com/
I was asked to art direct a commission for Eva's Initiative's, a group of youth shelters in Toronto. Chivo was a great fit to pull off the work. Assisting and collaborating with him was an incredible experience. I hope that the art goes on to inspire the youth that come across it.
The first piece was a scroll with positive affirmations that more of us should live by.
The second was a commission to paint a tree, in which we incorporated a portrait of the founder of the shelters, Eva Smith, a tireless advocate for at risk youth in North York who happened to pass away before seeing her dream of a safe place for them come into fruition.
Below are some photos of our collab on this project...
Day 1...I never knew writing in a straight line by brush could be so difficult!
