Dung A Town, Celebrating Togetherness

After doing several murals on Water Lane, I think it’s safe to say Downtown Kingston now feels like home, like it’s in my own backyard. Every wall carries a story. Each time I return, I feel that familiar mix of movement, culture and connection that makes this part of the city so alive.

My latest mural with Kingston Creative, part of the final phase of the Water Lane project, celebrates something that means a great deal to me: togetherness.

I wanted this piece to capture the energy and spirit of Kingston... the rhythm, the colour and the sense of pride that lives in the people and the place.

The mural brings together some of the city’s most recognisable landmarks, including the Air Jamaica Building, the Ward Theatre, King Street and Harbour Street. At the centre is a “Dung a Town” sign, a symbol of identity, belonging and community.

Big Up to the Crew

This project wouldn’t have been possible without my incredible support team. Budd and Christopher, who both grew up in the area, know these streets inside out. Their knowledge, insight and hands-on help made everything run smoothly and added an extra layer of local authenticity to the work. Big up to them for holding it down every step of the way.

Visual Medicine

For me, painting is never just about putting colour on a wall. It’s about storytelling. It’s about creating something that feels connected to the people who pass by every day. The handshake in the mural speaks to that — it’s a reminder of unity, how Kingston continues to bridge past and present, and how art helps us to hold those shared experiences in one space.

I often describe my murals as visual medicine. They are meant to uplift, to bring warmth, and to spark conversation. That’s what keeps me coming back to Downtown Kingston. The area already speaks with its own voice. My work simply adds another layer to that ongoing story.

One Downtown. Many stories. One vision. Togetherness in colour.
