“Skeleton Crew” (2019) Digital Illustration by Jaden Flores •  From the artist: “This illustration is meant to be a play on the idea ‘working yourself to the bone.’ As a mural artist, I have three main tools of the trade: the brush, the roller, and the spray can. My work tends to be focused on culture and community. I have always felt joy in the idea that we are all such diverse individuals all making up such a vibrant community, and it’s rewarding to help people connect with the creative joy we all possess. My work allows me to hear what inspires others and then tasks me with making it a bigger reality to share with the community.”
