Nils says:

"I met Michael when I painted his wall on the Pine St. Barber Shop in Oregon Hill a few years ago. Since then I have played chess with him weekly and listened to his stories of a bygone Richmond, which was one of the things I missed most during covid lockdowns. Michael also got me playing the guitar and ultimately gave me his, for which I am very grateful. He always says that he is living like a king, on his porch with a beer and a fiddle, or mandolin, or guitar. This wall was a pain, the wood slats were a very challenging texture and the weather got so hot the spraycans burned your hand when you pick them up, but that makes it all the more worthwhile."

Painted for Västervik Bank festival 2021
