Commission by FABnyc to create a mural on the pavement of Extra Place, in Manhattan, famous for being where CBGB's used to be.

The mission of FAB’s ArtUp is to reinvigorate spaces under construction through public art and community partnerships. The long alley way features work by Ellis G, Abe Lincoln Jr and myself. More information is available about the project here.

Extra Place is on East 1st Street (btw Bowery & 2nd Avenue), New York City.

Thanks to FABnyc for the project and Joyce, Keith, Youjung, Brian, Max. Jeane, Connie and Matthew for all their kind help.
