The design continues to evolve through regular contact with community members and facilitators. This video shows a few of the iterations this design went through. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/549839d2e4b07be3105ab8ff/1653271519681-BDHK9GC78O0TE1FCQWIH/2.png Glassboro Legacy This image is a portion of the design broken down into a paint-by-numbers.

I created this in 2007 with a group of twenty 4th, 5th, and 6th graders at Alexander Wilson Elementary School at 46th and Woodland Ave. in west Philadelphia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/549839d2e4b07be3105ab8ff/1656419075379-ESTFWH7HOU03OOXB4MOR/2.png Doorway To Success After 10 years the school was abandoned, the building torn down, and the lot sold to neighboring University of the Sciences. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/549839d2e4b07be3105ab8ff/1656419075512-HI9O7E1J4V2R8G7K7XN4/3.png Doorway To Success I was commissioned to reimagine the main portion of the mural. The challenge was in successfully paying homage to the previous painting while updating it to reflect its new facilitators. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/549839d2e4b07be3105ab8ff/1656419070681-VUNTA19S4V5S9HTEVMB8/5.png Doorway To Success Miss Lucille was the block captain in 2007. She also assumed a prominent role in the painting. In 2019 she was not in the best of health and requested that I use her image from 12 years earlier. Here she sits on her front porch with her portrait from the demolished mural. The demolition team took special care to save it for her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/549839d2e4b07be3105ab8ff/1656419071762-NBV870433DFWA1AZC8P6/4.png Doorway To Success The original mural referenced a painting by 19th century painter James Tissot titled London Visitors. For my reference I used Brian and Susan, two close friends. Twelve years later they reprised their roll for an updated version. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/549839d2e4b07be3105ab8ff/1656419066958-NS7RC07DYMJ5LILV94FC/6.png Doorway To Success These two images were taken in approximately the same location, however, in two separate buildings over a decade apart. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/549839d2e4b07be3105ab8ff/1656419067719-T83NZ9RGI3U43MMPH4DO/7.png Doorway To Success Studio Detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/549839d2e4b07be3105ab8ff/1656419064074-D8QSK725AO439F43OR3B/8.png Doorway To Success Studio Detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/549839d2e4b07be3105ab8ff/1656419063661-Q7L2ALXNRDAQEID4XH27/9.png Doorway To Success Studio Detail https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/549839d2e4b07be3105ab8ff/1656419061416-BBXE5GI0UA0SBQ0I94VO/10.png Doorway To Success Installation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/549839d2e4b07be3105ab8ff/1656419059417-XUW8IRDRA3ZW7MU0FCCK/11.png Doorway To Success https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/549839d2e4b07be3105ab8ff/1656419059919-JS8IBIBG5OIEE803B0UX/12.png Doorway To Success http://www.jonlaidacker.com/studio-work daily 0.75 2022-09-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/549839d2e4b07be3105ab8ff/f94939d6-af0b-478b-8d0c-7e5ac4ed1f3d/%2821%29+Figure+Study+7.jpg Studio Work -

I burnt the candle at both ends. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/549839d2e4b07be3105ab8ff/1657427731895-HJ2KP2UB4JJRYO65B0AO/11.png School of South Philly This project was partially funded by the Philadelphia Prison System. That being the case, a group of inmates at Graterford Prison were involved in discussing the design of the project. And members of Mural Arts Philadelphia’s Re-Entry Program were hired as assistants. The three figures ascending the steps in the foreground are three recently released individuals. Their ascension up the steps into the crowd is a metaphor for their re-entry into their communities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/549839d2e4b07be3105ab8ff/1657427732283-LV6EEI2XO5RIAJY5PR5H/12.png School of South Philly This is the late pastor, Carmine DiBiase. He and his son took up the roles of Plato and Aristotle in the mural. He passed away in 2017, 9 years after this picture was taken.
