“Forward” recap video of our new project with @Nikkolas_Smith for @ElPolloLoco in celebration of Black History Month! Video courtesy of @birdmanphotos
•
Artist statement: My inspiration for this piece is really about my ancestors. I’m constantly thinking about where I came from and how I got here, in the perseverance that my ancestors had to get to this point, and all of the times that they could have just stopped, but they kept going and they kept going, and if they didn’t, then I wouldn’t be here.
I see black history as something that happens every day, but I love there is that there is a month where we can just stop and commemorate everything that has happened in the black community for the last 400 years. There might be a chance for somebody that didn’t know that Frederick Douglas escaped slavery and taught himself to read and write. They might learn this month that Robert Smalls also escaped slavery and became a congressman. There are so many things that sometimes people just don’t think about, and there is so much of our history that is unfortunately swept under the rug. Let’s take this time to pull it out and reveal it to the world. When people see this piece I want them to walk away with reverence for my ancestors and the struggles that they went through, the perseverance that they had, and also for the black community.
When they see this piece, I want them to think about how amazing it would be if we all just unified and moved forward. The piece is called “Forward“, and that’s the consistent hope that I have for the black community, that we can move forward in a positive direction.

Recap video of our recent project with @SteveMartinezArt for @ElPolloLoco in celebration of Día de los Muertos. 🎥 @birdmanphotos
•
#DíadelosMuertos, or #DayoftheDead, is a centuries old holiday celebrated in Mexico and throughout Latin America including South America, Central Americas, and the Caribbean annually on Nov. 1 to honor departed loved ones. The souls of deceased relatives are remembered with food, drink and activities they enjoyed when they were alive, and families also leave ofrendas (offerings) at gravesites or on home altars.
•
El Pollo Loco commissioned L.A. artist Steve Martinez to paint an expansive Día de los Muertos mural on the exterior of the restaurant chain’s Inglewood location. Martinez specializes in creating art that represents a discourse between the symbolic and the realistic within daily urban life. His vibrant and striking El Pollo Loco Día de los Muertos mural is no exception.
