Thomas Marcus, aka Breeze, was introduced to graffiti at 13 and has been painting graffiti around Phoenix since the early ‘90s. While he continues to write Breeze has spent the years since developing his art, painting permissioned murals and dedicating himself to art programs and projects for the youth of his community. Breeze says his designs recall the beautiful interwoven geometric designs of the coil-woven baskets of the Akimel and Tohono O’odham people. On’k Akimel Oʼodham artist Dwayne Manuel, aka Dwayno Insano, has an MFA in fine art from University of Arizona and teaches art at the Tohono O’odham Community College. In 2016 the two colleagues from the Salt River Pima–Maricopa Indian Community, just east of Scottsdale, collaborated on this mural on N 16th St in Phoenix, adjacent to @TheBarrioCafe, the driving force behind Phoenix’s @Calle16PHX Arts District.  @breeze1phx/  @dwaynethedestroyer/
