"Concrete Jungle" Recap

Last Friday an event called Concrete Jungle was held in Key Biscayne, Fl. Concrete Jungle brought people of all races and ages together for one purpose. To raise awareness and funds for Haiti.
Several reggae/hiphop/ groove/funk musicians came out for the event. Sekajipo & his whole band had the people dancing and moving to the groove. LaGuardia rapped with some heartfelt & powerful lyrics. Miami's break dance crew came out and tore up the floor. Even a mini Micheal Jackson hopped up on stage outta nowhere.I painted for several hours. The 6x4ft mural was used to raise money for kids in Haiti. Specifically to get mattress covers for them to prevent the spread of disease. I used an image of an actual Haitian kid but placed him on the top of a dozen mattresses. Just like the princess & the pea and just as happy as can be. Be grateful for what you have.Such a fun night. Thanks to Keith Case for putting the whole thing together for a great cause! Also Thanks to Sam Albanese for taking some great photos.
