Edgewood to the edge of the world is the T-shirt designed and wore by young DC Artists during the grand opening of the Edgewood Mural project.

For three weeks, a collective of five Artists, Quest Skinner from DC Art teacher over Eastern Market, Chor Boogie 30 from San Francisco who has been painting portrait for Jay-Z and Hugh Hefner, Decoy 30 from DC and Joshua Mays 33 from Philadelphia and 40 apprentices from the District Summer Young Employment Program spray-painted days and nights the wall behind the shopping center on fourth Street NE (514 Rhode Island Ave NE).

The colorful mural exceeds over 4000 square feet, and is the largest one in the District.
ENJOY THE COLOR EXPLOSION (and make sure you click on photos to enlarge them):
