Commissioned for The Manitou Art Center (The MAC) in Manitou Springs, Colorado. The mural is a collaboration with FUSE AWR, a Los Angeles graffiti veteran who began painting in the 1980s before relocating to Colorado in the 1990s.
The mural depicts legendary and reclusive local artist Floyd Tunson (born 1947), who had a retrospective at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center a couple years before EL MAC's exhibition there in 2015. Tunson is a Colorado native who has been creating art in his Manitou Springs studio for over 30 years. "It was a pleasure getting to know him, and I would consider him one of the most inspiring and interesting people I've met. I recognize in him a deep love for creation, experimentation, and a certain shared philosophy that art and life are inseparable."
