I curated a colleague's birthday party, in which we ironically celebrated the party-goers in a refreshing way. A selection of local visual artists were hired to do live portraits of party goers while a photographer took portraits in front of a hand painted emerald backdrop.
"A party to refresh your humanity. Activities include live portraits, interviews, live vinyl playlists and soapbox confessionals with Owen. In celebration of BeMo’s birthday, entry price is a conversation point."

I was also commissioned to create a portrait of the birthday boy himself, Bryant 'BeMo' Brown to be used for an upcoming podcast 'A Few Mo Minutes'. I attempted to capture his vibrant personality as time passes, revealing a shining nugget of emerald wisdom.
"The purpose of the party is to humanize the people I love and work with. In my opinion, nothing humanizes a person more than a hand drawn portrait." - BeMo 35
