From the Artist: "I'm so blessed to announce that the Town of Silver City has officially approved my Billy The Kid graffiti mural! 💪😎💯🙏 
The vision for the mural includes a drastically blown up and exagerated photorealism, spray paint portrait of Billy The Kid against historically inspired downtown scenery. This mural will also feature some dynamic graffiti to add a modern twist, hopefully creating another area for great photography with a clean, high level graffiti backdrop. 🔥📸
The mission for this mural is to bring graffiti art into the forefront of the art community and into an area that has more exposure to the public, as well as exposure to tourism, by placing it on the side wall at Living Art Studio, located on College Avenue. Since 2024 I've hosted Slaying Silver City Graffiti Jam, 5 different times. This is a small personal event for graffiti artists to gather and legally paint our own artwork on walls with permission from the property owners. I gather 10-30 graffiti artists in Silver City for a full 3 day weekend and their money goes to hotels, gas stations, bars, air b&b's, dispensaries, restaurants and many other locally owned businesses all over town. I feel like graffiti brings a great contribution to the local economy and deserves to come out of the back of town to be seen, celebrated and appreciated among the other art forms in Silver City's art district. 🫡
BIG THANKYOU to AnneLiese, Aurthur, Allee, Cjell, Diana and the committee that voted unanimously for the approval! 🙏🙏🙏" - Mute
