About the Bird:ճFish Crowis an opportunist that once only inhabited the Atlantic and Gulf Coast plains, but now canbe found further inland, all the way up to the Ohio River Valley. Climatechange, however, will reshape the bird’s fortunes, making 98 percent of its current summer breeding range unsuitable at the current pace of warming. APP’s models show that if it perseveres it will likely do so only in small pockets of the Northeast United States and Canada.
About the Artist: hails from Rome and his work spans genres, including graffiti, illustration, and fine art. Since 2012 he has taught screen-printing coursesat Rome’s European Institute of Design, as well as workshops inmuralism, and exhibited internationally. His piece for theAPP Mural Project capped a three-month odyssey called “The Image Hunter,” for which he retraced John James APP’s steps around America while painting15 murals. “I spotted the Fish Crow in Florida early this summer,” he says, “and thought it would be fitting on a mural so close to John James APP’s grave.”
