"Activate Chi" Mural – North Michigan Avenue and Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois, United States

In his own words, Keith Smith, also known as Afrokilla, is a "Chicago-based artist currently jamming out public art murals, live painting at events and creating art pieces with raw, colorful expression that bursts out of every piece." He earned a Graphic Design degree in 2012 from The Illinois Institute of Art and then turned his attention to creating street art. His goal is "to promote positive thinking and happiness while maintaining a groovy flow." He cites skateboarding, pop culture, psychedelic era, and urban culture that constantly develop synchronized moments as influences that have animated his art.
