“Love Thy Neighbor” - Jon Moody x Hi Neighbor Cannabis Club

When the Hi Neighbor managerial team told me they wanted a mural that would make waves in the North Hollywood Arts District I knew exactly who to call. Jon Moody is a celebrity painter who’s done work for Young LA, Tyler Perry, Ryan Garcia, and actor Shemar Moore to name a few.

The goal for this piece was to communicate cannabis as a vessel for inclusivity and kindness in a way that also showed the business owner’s Puerto Rican heritage. We intentionally included plants and animals native to Puerto Rico in the mural.

It was our wish to represent well for LA’s Latinx community in this mural as well. I chose the offering of a daisy as an ongoing theme for the store to signal cannabis consumption in a discreet and family friendly way.

Proud to say that the City of North Hollywood presented Hi Neighbor Cannabis Club with an official award for making the neighborhood more beautiful. It was a blast working on this project with Jon Moody and the Hi Neighbor team.

More than anything I’m grateful for experience I gained while chaperoning this project from start to finish. Some of my responsibilities included negotiating the contract to be within Hi Neighbor’s budget, refining the mural concept and design several times with Jon to fit Hi Neighbor’s vision, coordinating the painting shifts around other cosmetic updates being done to the building, and keeping up with city council via email to make sure everything was code compliant and protected by the city. I also helped Jon with setting up, scheduling the work, and documenting the process for his socialal media recap.
