‘Shop Small 2014’

Prolific DC murals artist Aniekan Udofia was commissioned by American Express to execute this mural in Adams Morgan for Small Business Saturday 2014, a promotion to encourage holiday shoppers to give some of their business to small, independent retailers. From earlier pictures I’ve seen, some of the people in the bottom of the mural have been painted over.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.
