MR. POMODORO

Orlando, Fl
A project through CityArts Orlando

14 feet x 18 feet

Mr. Pomodoro is a character I created for this mural. I was selected amongst several hundred applicants to do a large scale mural for Orlando’s annual mural festival. As there was no set theme or topics to follow I chose this character to represent me and my background. I’m an anxious little Italian tomato, so I draw and paint a lot of tomatoes. And perfect for a state that deals in agriculture.

In terms of design I knew the mural would be by a busy road and wanted it to be simple but bold so people could digest whether they are driving or walking by.
