ATL Bench

Two teams. Two murals. Two messages. One shared purpose.

We recently welcomed the Restaraunt Technology Team with Chick-fil-A for a little friendly competition—and a whole lot of creativity.

One team was challenged with WINNING HEARTS EVERY DAY.
The other with ONLY AT CHICK-FIL-A.

They collaborated, sprayed, laughed, scratched records, experienced a breakin cypher up close with JOSH ORTIZ and turned two blank graffiti outlines into two completely different works of art.

The best was when we brought everyone back together.

Because these two messages aren’t really competing at all.

“Winning Hearts Every Day” is what they do.

“Only at Chick-fil-A” is what people say when they’ve done it well.

One is the intention. The other is the impact.

And somewhere between the spray paint, music, friendly competition and a room full of people stepping outside their comfort zones, those words became more than something written on a wall.

They became something the teams created together. Their vision is to be the worlds most caring company. They operate as “go to players” with a game plan. True grit, flexible mindsets, positive energy, relentless teamwork, and grateful hearts. This defines their championship brand. I think we can all feel the love at Chick-fil-A.

The finished artwork matters—but the experience behind it is the real masterpiece.

What a weekend at Art in the Park!

To celebrate the 40th Annual Art in the Park in Marietta Square, we invited festival attendees to grab a can and help us bring this giant collaborative mural to life.

People of all ages and backgrounds stepped up to the wall — even Marietta’s finest got in on the action! Everyone added their own color, creativity and personality, and by the end of the day, nearly a hundred individual contributions became one finished piece.

That’s one of my favorite things about collaborative graffiti: you don’t have to be an artist to leave your mark.

Huge thanks to everyone who painted with us and to Art in the Park for letting ATL Bench be part of the 40th anniversary. Marietta showed up!

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE 🌿🎨

A group of first-year Kennesaw State University students came together for a graffiti team-building experience and created this collaborative masterpiece.

The jungle theme felt especially fitting for students beginning their first year of college — stepping into a new environment, meeting new people and figuring out where they fit.

🐯 The tiger represents courage — having the confidence to step into unfamiliar territory.

🐍 The snake represents transformation — shedding the old and growing into something new.

🦩 The flamingo represents individuality and confidence — standing out, embracing what makes you different.

🐒 The monkey represents curiosity and exploration — being willing to try new things, meet new people, and learn through experience.

🦜 The parrot represents communication and community — finding your voice while learning to listen to others.

🐆 The leopard represents independence and adaptability — learning how to navigate a new environment.

🌿 The jungle represents college itself: wild, diverse, unpredictable and full of opportunity.

Different personalities. Different strengths. Different backgrounds. One piece of art.

Welcome to KSU. Welcome to the jungle.

Graffiti Team Building with the Corporate Events Team from was an impactful experience! This crew chose to paint the slogan EXPERIENCES WITH IMPACT which for them means creating unique experiences that leave a lasting impression. Their outer space background reflects global technology through connectivity with a shooting star for each member of the team. In addition to collaborating on their graffiti style masterpiece, the crew got to scratch on the turntables and rock a breakin cypher with and bboy TikTok !

We rocked the battle.

I had the honor to paint the stage artwork for the 12th annual recital!

Each year the show gets better and better and this year the students and staff provided a spectacular and entertaining event. A Night At The Hip Hop Museum was the theme so the show had a quality story representing the culture of Hip Hop all tied in with historical relics throughout the venue and an engaging script and flow. The students not only rocked out proving their skills on the dance floor but did a fantastic job in their acting performances! God Bless and for not just teaching the next generation how to dance but the history and foundations which was what this years recital was lol about!

Graffiti Team Building with round 3 was FRESH! This crew from the Restaurant Food Safety division chose a color scheme which represents “from raw to cooked” with a fade going from yellow to dark red. Their background features icons that symbolize sanitizing, cook time, food temperature, critters and bacteria. In addition to collaborating on their graffiti style masterpiece, the team got to cut and scratch on the turntables.

Rocking a graff wall alongside for the 4th annual was a blast! This event in Augusta Georgia is an all elements hip hop extravaganza featuring DJs, Producers, Breakers, live Graffiti, and so many Emcees I lost count! It was an incredible weekend of meeting new friends and catching up with a few friends I haven’t seen in years.

Shout out to the host with the most , your hospitality is unmatched! Respect to for organizing and hosting the breakin battle. This years battle was fierce with the final round between and who reigned victorious. And when is behind the turntables you know it’s official. Can’t forget to wish a happy birthday to , it was great seeing you again!

Graffiti Team Building with round 4 was GREAT! For the past 4 years these elite students have traveled coast to coast from Washington to ATL for The Amazing Shake . Their theme for 2026 is CHASE YOUR GREATNESS which means always striving to do your best and not giving up. Hard work pays off! Their color scheme represents shining bright above earth to symbolize that greatness is found in people all across the world.

In addition to painting their graffiti masterpiece, these students rocked out with and next door and got to cut and scratch on the turntables!

Graffiti Date last month with was experimental. I had the pleasure to meet Philip and Heather and guide them in a spray painting project for 2026. This amazing entrepreneurial couple brought their own canvas and painted UNCON in a graffiti style with a nod to the Yo! MTV Raps logo. This artwork was later displayed at their 90’s themed “unconventional bridal show” event at in Gainesville Ga. This was a unique way to create artwork that can be easily transported for display later and then stored for potential future use.
