OUR. MURAL. IS. DONE.

Holy shit this project has been both SO INTENSE and absolutely THE BEST.

@seanmartorana did an absolutely amazing job of designing and painting this mural. It's honestly ridiculous. We also had a squad of 20 students from the Kensington High School for the Creative and Performing Arts paint it with us!

My buddy Tom Donkin helped us take pictures of our finished mural. We're so damn lucky to have him!

Every one of these animals live in our neighborhood in Philly. Some of them, like the bufflehead duck, are super common, whereas others, like the sturgeon, are more rare. The goal here is to educate our neighbors about the cool animals we live among, in the hopes that they care more about the river that we live on the bank of!

The side of our mural has QR codes so that people can learn more about the ecosystem and how they can help the river!

This project was funded by a grant, which fricken RULES, but unfortunately the staff time it took us to do was WAY more than the grant could support. But what was I gonna do, NOT make this project happen? Uhhh No. If you have an extra $5/month, our org could really use your support. Patreon.com/SkypeAScientist
