Thanks @mikecomp for answering my questions: “This one there's actually a pretty cool story to it ... I wanted to something with local people.. this girl was 15 at the time... I was scrolling through local photographers work to find a picture.. came across this portrait of this girl in a classic car. So the day of...the girl and her entire family came out to see me work .. I got to speak with her... turns out the photo was taken at the exact same spot I painted the mural! Crazy coincidence but I think the universe was telling me I was doing exactly what I was suppose to be doing.”
