Deep Currents was inspired by the majesty and mystery of the sea, and the dynamic wildlife that inhabits it. The bright colors and swirling lines of the piece speak to the vibrant energy of the Gulf waters, while the mermaid, revealed in bits and pieces throughout the work, adds a sense of magic and whimsy. Her direct, contemplative expression gives off a sense of mystery, while the fish hook she holds signifies her protection of the wildlife in her waters.

FoxySwine is an artist team made up of married power-couple Courtney Hicks and Chris Alvarez. Based out of Atlanta GA, Chris and Courtney met while working in the animation industry. Bonding over a mutual love of cartoons, comics, and making art, the duo ultimately brought their skills to muraling. Over the past decade they have created works for galleries, festivals, private businesses, and residences throughout the Southeast United States.

Their work is typically illustrative, with an implied story underlying their pieces. Focal characters within their work--whether human or animal--leave the viewer to interpret their own tale and meaning of the visuals. Their mural work typically focuses on striking, limited color palettes, bold linework, and energetic layouts.
