Parvati´s hand, Chola art from Tamil Nadu

Chrysanthemum scorpion-mum. Mama scorp, baby scorps. I didn’t get the best photos because in the end I was in a lot of pain from dislocating my ribs/straining all of my rib muscles; apparently my body is still too weak for any level of manual labor, repetitive motions or the lifting of paint cans 😩… Anywho, go check her out! She’s between Alder and Washington on SE 11th; along with a really inspiring collection of other murals by artists I feel honored to have painted alongside on this community project organized by @portlandstreetartalliance Final photo is me taking a pit stop the other day en route to visiting my grandma, trying to calm my spasming muscles down with a hot soak. It feels good to revisit old haunts.
