Brendon Palmer-Angell paints a mural of Allen Toussaint on a building at the corner of Kerlerec Street and N. Claiborne Ave. in New Orleans, La. Monday, July 23, 2018.The mural was painted from a photograph taken by Glade Bilby II. Palmer-Angell volunteered his time to paint the mural through the NOLA Mural Project. It took five days to complete. He received a modest stipend for his expenses. The Plattsburgh, New York native, honed his painting skills while studying art at Syracuse University. He said "It's an honor to be part of the NOLA Mural Project and believes that the community owns the mural.I loved seeing people connect with Allen Toussaint through the mural more than anything else." Palmer-Angell loved that so many people stopped by to look, photograph and praise his work and the idea. For more information about the project go to: https://www.nolamuralproject.org/
