Texas Cannon Ball (A tribute to Freddie King)

Born in Illinois, artist Alec DeJesus, turned to art as a means of escaping a rough upbringing. Focusing on enveloping a very real message of “strength and pride through perseverance” in his vibrant paintings, he has taken that message to various places around the country by creating large scale murals, lecturing at schools and curating and showing in galleries locally and nationally.
