Kirkwood Avenue – Hoosier Shangrila

Welcome to a Thursday afternoon in the heart of Btown (even though I errantly open my video with a “Happy Wednesday!” I scored some dope artwork, I think. It speaks to a certain mood I’m feeling.

Homeless artist David Ortiz Pino displayed a pop up art gallery on Kirkwood Avenue as Covid continued to rage state and nation-wide.

I purchased the drawing on the left and he gifted the drawing on the right.

Here are so additional scenes from the day…
