Kim Beavers on FB: “Across the street from Pandora's headquarters in uptown #Oakland. … Interestingly, there's something in the lower left corner – “Random Acts” – and someone's signature on the right. There is an altruistic non-profit called Random Acts, but not sure if they're related.” #ArethaFranklin #arethafranklintribute 🙏 So #Oaklandish 🙌 #RandomActs #randomactsofkindness

Honored and humbled to have my work associated with this moment and with the great Aretha Franklin. Thanks Bryan Durren for giving me the opportunity to create portrait, and thanks Francis Vallejo and @kingphish1968 for making me aware of this moment.
