The Finishing Touches

Artist and neighbor Juan Carlos Pinto — who’s well-known for his area installations like the enormous pixelated portraits at the corner of Cortelyou and Marlborough Roads, the Brooklyn mosaic next to the old John’s Bakery, and the Newkirk Plaza tunnel mural — is pictured here finishing his mural in Bar Chord’s backyard.

Juan’s an incredible community beautifier — you can check out more of his work on his Facebook page and can hear what our neighbor loves about Flatbush in this video from Brooklyn Independent Media.
