We’re thrilled to finally share the full story behind one of our most satisfying projects yet: the monumental transformation of the basketball court at Seavey Circle in Sacramento!
Partnering with the amazing team at @projecthomecourt, we set out to turn a faded, underutilized patch of asphalt into a vibrant, high-energy centerpiece. This wasn’t just a painting project; it was a community effort led by myself, 2hermano, and an incredible team of local volunteers.
The Challenge: A Blank (But Massive) Canvas
The existing court was, frankly, bland. It was a sea of gray concrete that blended into its surroundings, offering little visual inspiration. My goal was to inject dynamic color and design that would reflect the energy and spirit of the players and the neighborhood.
The design was intricate, featuring bold lines, deep hues, and an overall layout that works both as playable basketball lines and as a standalone work of art.
Sweat, Sun, and Squad Goals
Making a project of this scale happen required more than just paint and brushes—it required an army of dedicated hands. It was humbling to see neighbors, friends, and local volunteers show up with such enthusiasm.
From the detailed prep work—cleaning, masking, and priming the massive surface—to the painstaking task of filling in the huge blocks of color, every person played a critical role. This collaborative energy is what truly brings a community court to life. We all got a little sunburnt, covered in paint, and shared a lot of laughs. Every drop of sweat was worth it.
The Big Reveal: From the Ground Up
There is nothing quite like watching a finished mural or artwork become fully visible. As we peeled back the final bits of masking tape, the court’s true personality emerged. The bright, contrasting colors immediately made the space feel new, inviting, and permanent.
But the final visual payoff is something you have to see from above. The YouTube Short embedded below captures the dramatic scale, ending with the drone shot zooming straight up, finally revealing the true 2hermano vision from an aerial perspective. It completely changes your understanding of the piece.
We hope this court brings renewed inspiration, fierce competition, and a sense of pride to everyone who steps onto its colorful surface. Thank you to everyone who made this amazing community project a reality!
