NoHo Mural by Jedidiah Dore
Inspired by location reportage drawings and the energy, vibrancy, and constant state of flux in NYC and the NoHo neighborhood, this design is also an homage to the artistic heritage and diversity of NoHo. It includes both historical architectural references along with fitness iconography and imagined concepts of NoHo’s future.
about the artist
Jedidiah Dore is an artist and part-time faculty member of illustration at Parsons New School in NYC. He specializes in reportage art, mural painting, and drawing. Dore was commissioned to paint a large-scale NYC mural project at the landmark Daily News Building in Manhattan. There are 17 completed murals, with six of the murals measuring 30 feet in length. He recently created art for an exhibition with NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, documenting the Artemis 1 mission launch at Kennedy Space Center, and has recently exhibited a collection of paintings at the Louisiana Art & Science Museum.
After moving to NYC to study painting and illustration at the Pratt Institute, and inspired by his love for science and space exploration, Dore began an ongoing project called the Stellar Science Series, with many of the initial ideas and concepts sketched on-site. The project has taken him on great adventures to places such as Mars Yard for the Curiosity Rover, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Deep Space Network, Johnson Space Center, Kennedy Space Center, and opportunities to create space art for Jacobs Technologies, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, and exhibit art for NASA at Goddard Space Flight Center. Jedidiah and his work have been featured in various publications including VoyageHouston’s “Thought Provokers Series,” British GQ, PBS, ALL Arts, Artnet, and in books such as “Pen and Ink,” “Reportage Drawing: Visual Journalism” (Bloomsbury, 2018), “STELLAR,” and “NYC5 Over, Under, Through.”
