"Travis Best," by Damien Mitchell, 2019

This mural pays tribute to NBA player Travis Best, who grew up and continues to live, in Springfield MA. Damian created this mural based on photographs he took of Travis Best, a Springfield native and current resident who played for many years in the NBA.

Damien is originally from Australia but now resides in Brooklyn. He started his street art career focused on stencil art, and this aesthetic continues to influence his larger-scale free-hand work. Damien has painted murals across the US, Latin America, Europe, and Australia. “It's been awesome to paint this mural here. While I have been painting this mural, it became a place for people to meet each other and develop connections and a sense of common understanding.” - Damien Mitchell
