This is a mural by my cousin, Victor Reyes, in the Mission District in San Francisco. He’s got art all over the city as well as other cities, too. I work with him in his studio when I’m not in school — stretching and priming canvases, picking up paint orders, crating purchased artwork for delivery. The best part is being in a studio alongside other artists who are doing their thing and hearing some good stories.

I’m learning a lot about the business and will ask him for advice when I have my first show this summer.

This is his latest mural.
