Aerosol Kingdom – Justin Suarez

Justin is a wildlife muralist and licensed falconer whose bold, lifelike murals celebrate the dignity and motion of animals, especially birds of prey. Based in Rochester, NY, he works with nature centers, schools, and regional public spaces to tell stories of conservation and survival. His murals appear from Chicago’s neighborhoods to rural silos and community centers across the Northeast.

As a volunteer bird handler at Wild Wings sanctuary, Justin’s close relationships with hawks and owls reveal the emotion and accuracy of his work. His artistic practice is also an act of environmental education, giving new visibility to threatened species and encouraging a deeper connection between viewers and the natural world.

In Ticonderoga, Justin is honoring a once-disappearing raptor species whose return to our skies is a quiet but powerful restoration story of ecosystems and ourselves. This is a mural that will fly with meaning.

Arlin Graff

Arlin is a Brazilian-born artist whose bold, geometric wildlife murals bring color, energy, and meaning to public spaces worldwide—from São Paulo to New York City.

>His work blends nature and form, structure and soul, transforming animals into vibrant, abstracted symbols that invite reflection on our relationship with the natural world. With projects commissioned by global brands and cities alike, Arlin brings a universal language of movement, balance, and life.

For his Ticonderoga mural, Arlin has chosen to honor a species found in our region—an iconic animal that is sacred and symbolic in Indigenous traditions. This creature plays an important role in the material culture of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) and Abenaki peoples, representing resilience, protection, and the interconnectedness of life. Its presence in carvings, clothing, and storytelling speaks to its deep spiritual significance, one that Arlin has approached with reverence and care.

Key Detail – Andrei Krautsou

Originally from Belarus and now based in New York City, Key Detail creates mesmerizing murals that blend architecture, surrealism, and cultural storytelling. Their work can be found across Europe, Asia, and the U.S., with landmark pieces in Dubai, Taipei, Berlin, and Brooklyn. His murals often layer symbolism, natural forms, and dreamlike figures to evoke emotional and ecological narratives.

For his Ticonderoga mural, Key Detail is exploring the layered geography of our region—the waters that connect us, the fish and currents that pass between Lake George, the LaChute River, and Lake Champlain. Though the full design remains a surprise, it will speak to cycles, convergence, and the sacred ecology of place.

Arcy – Ryan Christenson

Hailing from Connecticut, ARCY has become one of America’s most recognizable live muralists. He is known for his bold color, signature drips, and powerful photorealistic style. His works have appeared in all 50 U.S. states and abroad, and he has created major commissions for the Smithsonian Institution, Disney Fine Art, Major League Baseball, and the U.S. Open.

His live mural demonstrations are as dynamic as the works themselves. They capture the attention of crowds and transform spaces into vibrant historical or cultural tributes.

In Ticonderoga, ARCY has painted a scene that took place right here in our town—a moment from the Revolutionary War that helped shape the course of the nation. The mural hints at cannon wheels, oxen, and a soldier whose story has slipped from the textbooks but not from the soul of this place. It’s a local story with national resonance, and ARCY’s vision is the perfect way to bring it to light.
