After a couple days of scoping, scraping, sanding, priming, and painting, this PaintBox is officially complete! Thanks @cityofboston @artsinboston for the amazing opportunity.

My favorite part of the whole process was getting to meet the amazing Eastie community along the way. All smiles, stories, words of encouragement, car honks, and support was incredible.

As for the mural itself, I wasn’t sure how it would turn out but I decided to paint a mural of a digital illustration (procreate) of a few iPhone photos of these adorable pups. Swipe through to see the design I submitted and the original pics!

Cant wait to actually start painting this bad boy! It was so fun to see how much foot traffic this location gets in a given hour. So many friendly faces (and furry friends… hint hint on what’s to come next😉)

Great seeing new Eastie resident @christinalupica 🥳

Paying tribute (again!) to the late great Eric Car

Paying tribute (again!) to the late great Eric Carle.

Just when I thought we already had a lot in common with him, I went into my internship interview saying I managed an art Instagram account called the Art of Emma. Immediately, my *future* boss told me Eric Carle had a book called the Art of Eric Carle. I had no idea.

I’m reading The Art of Eric Carle now and connect with it so dearly. The man came from a humble background and remained humble for his whole life, holding strong values of family and community, as well as art and storytelling. Simply, the best!

Oh, one last thing about Eric Carle. He taught me novel ways to be humorous. Swipe right for an Instagram vs reality of me working at the Carle 🤣 I always show this to my friends. I walked into work one morning and was asked if I would dress up as THE very hungry caterpillar. Next thing you know I was strapped up in an inflatable mascot costume dancing through the halls to Stevie Wonder and posing for pics with guests. The following week was Paddington Week but unfortunately they needed someone 5’3” or shorter for that costume 🤣.

That museum is all about good times and education. Shameless plug to make a trip there if you are local to Massachusetts and ever looking for a nice day trip. I love that place.
