Boy Kong and Kirza Lopez
Gone Residency Santa Barbara - August 2021
Orlando, FL based husband and wife duo Boy Kong and Kirza Lopez were invited to visit Santa Barbara for August 2021, and do as they like. They skated, cooked, observed Santa Barbara’s world class gardens and botanicals, and they even did a little painting. Beside for their individual work, which can be seen below, they painted a collaborative mural. Fun times!
Boy and Kirza were in S.B. as guests of GONE RESIDENCY:
