RVA Magazine has an interview with the artist who did the mural at Idlewood and Laurel, Ekundayo.

Excerpt:

Seems like you’re everywhere. How busy are you this year, and are you getting busier as it goes along?

This year I’m getting really busy. I got a solo show up coming up with Think Space at the beginning of next year, so that’s gonna be my big thing to work on for the rest of this year. And then, really just doing more walls and murals. I’ve been really into doing them. I just finished one in LA that is a little over a couple of stories. It’s real fun. I really enjoy working outside, building these walls. I love working with the community and having people interact. That’s the dope thing about Richmond. The vibe out here is very supportive, and you can tell that people out here are seeing things that they haven’t really seen before. And they’re really amazed, and that’s a great feeling.

You’re in Oregon Hill right now. I’m sure people have been coming out and just checking out the work. It probably is a great feeling right now, inspiring the kids with this camel.

Yeah, the traveler. That’s what this piece is all about. Traveling the lands and planting seeds along the way, creating new growth as you go.
