This print “Muhammad Ali - Heavyweight Ideals,” is based on the mural I just painted in Louisville. Muhammad Ali was an incredible athlete who was dazzling in the ring, a glorious showman athletically and verbally, and resilient in the face of defeat, earning the heavyweight title 3 times.
However, in this art, based on an incredible photo by #HowardBingham provided by his son Dustin (@dusbing), I wanted to emphasize Ali’s role as an outspoken citizen and activist. Ali was a civil rights activist, a conscientious objector to the Vietnam War, a philanthropist, and a U.N. Messenger of Peace. I admire that Ali stood up for what he believed even when he potentially faced jail and the end of his boxing career.
The @chestnutstreetymca where we painted the Ali mural is blocks from Ali’s childhood school and a place he frequented in his youth. I’m very grateful to the YMCA for providing an incredible wall with an authentic connection to Ali’s life. A project of this magnitude can’t come to fruition without a lot of people to collaborating generously.
My friend of 25 years, Eddie Donaldson of @guerillaone led the charge on bringing this project together, as well as the Outside Influence art show to benefit @artistsfortrauma. Eddie pulled together an amazing coalition of supporters including @mayorcraiggreenberg, @dannywimmerpresents, @krogerco, and many others.
Thank you to the city of Louisville for the warm welcome into the community and for giving me the privilege of adding to the cityscape. I met a ton of great local artists at the Outside Influence art show.
