We Are Going to Be Friends — exterior mural, SHINE Mural Festival, St. Petersburg, Florida
DAAS painted "We Are Going to Be Friends" for the 2018 SHINE Mural Festival in St. Petersburg, Florida — a 103-foot exterior mural depicting a young girl and two giant rabbits, curated by the St. Petersburg Arts Alliance.
We Are Going to Be Friends is part of an ongoing narrative series DAAS has painted across multiple countries — featuring the same young girl in murals in Italy, China, and now St. Petersburg. Commissioned for the 2018 SHINE Mural Festival, one of the most respected public art festivals in the United States, this is also a homecoming of sorts — DAAS grew up in Florida and received his design training in St. Petersburg. DAAS has participated in international mural festivals and public art programs across the US, Japan, China, and beyond. Commission a mural for your city or festival at artist-daas.com/contact.
