‘Just Paper & Tea’

Found on the wall of a local tea shop. It features artist Aniekan Udofia’s famous Shaolin Pencil, which he says speaks of the creative power that’s inherent in us and how we all share the potential of unlocking it.

“Artist Aniekan Udofia – known locally for his massive murals of Duke Ellington, Frederick Douglass, and George Washington – painted this mural on the side of Just Paper & Tea during a 2015 Shop Small event.”

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

One advantage of early spring, posted earlier:
