My wife Eve Biddle and I designed this mural, on a handball court in the schoolyard of IS 145 in Jackson Heights, Queens.

This article in The New Yorker describes the desecration of this mural by a major corporation.

Later, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shot a video for her historic congressional campaign with the desecrated mural in the background. The one part of our original design that remains as we intended it is the lettering for the phrase "Queens Is The Future".

The mural is located at Northern Boulevard and 80th Street in Jackson Heights, a quick walk from the 7 or E train. You can find it here:
