Artist Statement
King Pig believes the theme of “Atlanta” is a concept that both locals and tourists can wrap their arms around and enjoy. The artist finds one of the themes of Altanta and the Atlanta BeltLine to be that of historic eating establishments, thus inspiring his work Cheeseburgers and Unicycles.
