Melon James (Street Artist, Muralist) - (IG Live on May 9, 2020)

July 15, 2020 • 36 mins

Melon James is an artist currently based in Honolulu, Hawaii. You can see some of his works in Kaka'ako, part of Pow! Wow! Hawaii 2020. I'll include a quick video below so you can see other murals from earlier this year in the Honolulu neighborhood. Nicky - as I was introduced to him - started out fine tuning his tag (font style and name/words) and later pieces (larger and more stylized works) as a teenager in Chicago, Illinois. Joining the military brought him to our Hawaiian Islands where he soon developed life-long friendships throughout the street art community. Thanks for reading and listening to "Hawaii POV - A Talk Story Series"!
