Rodney is a homeless in my neiborhood... he always sits in bus stops with lots of plastic bags around him. When I took this photo I didn't notice the logo of Miami. When I came to paint it I realized that half of the logo was above his head which immediately took me to the obvious historic connotation as if he was a saint and the round shape of the logo was the halo. There was a weird feeling the whole time I was painting this painting.
