SOUTHERN LIGHTNING · THE CTR ATL
Atlanta left its mark on me, mostly in paint stains and memories. After thirty years of painting this city, I figured it was time to mark it back. So I made an icon: a bolt of light with ATL at its heart, hanging in the building that once broadcast Atlanta to the whole world. See it at The CTR ATL.
Tindel’s been marking this city for thirty years. This time it glows.
So fresh, so clean.
