Stay Curious murals by artists Tes One and Bask at the William F. Poe Parking Garage in downtown Tampa, Florida. Commissioned by the City of Tampa, Art Programs Division. With the assistance of the Vitale Bros., the team of 8 applied over 175 gallons of paint to the exterior of the 5-story parking structure the size of a city block. The month long mural production is a collaboration between the two artists working towards one message: Stay Curious.

Believe - Bask
A child’s desire is the purest form of ambition; unrestricted by the complications and responsibilities of adulthood. A virtue far more valuable explored than diminished. To the little ones: dream BIG!

Positioned across from the Tampa Public Library and the Straz Performing Art Center, the 5-story collaboration is the realization of the dream. Flourish and fulfillment extend along the Cass St. intersection and elevated walkway, aspiring to new heights in the city skyline.

Reflective Practice - Tes One
Creativity starts with a curious mind. One that takes risks, fails often and tries again. This 5-story mural is tribute to those moments of reflection, intuition and discovery.

Eat, Play, Love – Bask
The large close up of a women’s face, intends to intrigue the viewer head-on. A playful and permissive reflection into the eyes of the beholder. Inspired by a photograph taken by Christopher Clark.
