In 2021, my ex Jerrod began working for the company Buff City Soap, managing one store then a whole district for the burgeoning soap franchise based out of Bartlett, TN.
He no longer works there, but for the 2+ years he was there, we smelled increddddible.
In 2022, after meetings regarding renovations to outdated locations, Jerrod came to me seeking a mural to freshen the interior of his Secor Road Buff City store here in Toledo, Ohio, and bring it up to speed with the rest of the chain. While some stores already had murals behind the cash register, his had simply a solid wall. If you know Jerrod, though, you give him an opportunity to shine and he is going to grab it! So, rather than use artwork that other stores had installed, Jerrod thought it would be unique and exciting for the store to have it’s very own artwork, created by a hometown artist (i.e. Me).
If you’d like to see the real thing, go and check it out! And grab me some ‘Hey Headache’ soap while you’re there, it’s my personal fave - I’ll pay you back.
