Birthday Surprise Mural for the lovely Ray Alvarez from Ray's Candy Store in alphabet city, beloved New York legend ! Happy 90th Ray !
I used the same portrait and elements from the storefront painting to create this flag, to be included in 2023's Rockefeller Flag Project ! It's special to see Ray flying as a flag at Rockefeller center, for the month of April 2023 !
I was also interviewed by Pix11 to talk about it : https://pix11.com/news/local-news/manhattan/flavorful-food-flags-fly-at-rockefeller-center/
