Wrap up video of ‘People of Downtown’ mural complete.

Video by Matteo Welsh

A fun wrap up video for our latest mural, titled People of Downtown for Downtown Van which celebrates a diverse range of figures who have shaped Vancouver’s identity. Located beside The Fall Tattooing. We cranked out this mural in 4.5 days and we couldn’t have made this possible without our killer crew. Big ups to Cody Swinkels, Lynol Lui and JNasty for their amazing assist.

The mural measures 120’ wide by 22’+ tall.

See if you can spot all the characters we painted.

ARTIST STATEMENT “I explore the human experience through the lenses of motion, time, and space, distilling its essence into fun, vibrant visuals. My work captures the energy and fluidity of life, using bold graphics to reflect the dynamic ways we move through life and how we connect with one another. By celebrating the diversity of human experiences, I aim to highlight the unique ways we each navigate the world. Through this playful approach, I invite viewers to engage with the complexity, joy, and richness of being human.”
