About this mural:
2020 10'x10' Aerosol and Latex on OSB Plywood HIWAY Credit Union in St. Paul, MN filmed a commercial to promote their bank. They hired me to create the background mural for the shoot. The commercial highlighted community members and featured a banker, a city worker, an artist (me), a coffee barista, and people walking about enjoying the day interacting, socializing, communicating, and working together in public.

Minneapolis-based artist, Peyton Scott Russell, was first introduced to graffiti art in 1984 through the film, Style Wars. Peyton has a B.F.A. from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and for over three decades has been a professional artist and arts instructor, facilitating numerous community mural projects and arts education programs. Through his current arts program, SPRAYFINGER®, Peyton manifests his mission to increase awareness of graffiti as a teachable art form by working with schools, teachers, and artists on curriculum design, outlines, and lesson plans to deepen the understanding of a long-misunderstood art form.
