Meet Pablo, "Kaper". Him and I crossed paths about 30 years ago. He was an artist who loved to paint "tag" walls and one on occassion he tagged a wall that he didn't have permission to paint on and which lead to meeting me. I loved his artist talent and he has some community service hours he needed to do so I got permission to have him paint a mural on my office wall. It was beautiful, bright colors and the word PEACE. I loved the mural and I can't believe I don't have a photo of it. A number of coworkers thought it was a negtive message encouraging a "tagger" to paint. Well fast forward 30 years and I came across his instagram. He is a fabulous muralist and artist. I had the pleasure to met up with him. Actually, I surprised him and he did remember me. On this particular day he was painting a mural at the Barrio Cafe, downtown Phoenix. It makes my soul happy to wittness the success story of Pablo the artist! |
