"He was one of several Los Angeles-based artists to participate in a Road to World Cup Community Day last month at Inglewood High United. Many of the artists - including Juan Pablo Reyes (" JP murals"), Michelle Ruby Guerrero (" Mr. B Baby") and Angel Acordagoitia - sketched designs on portable panels (12-feet by 8-feet) and picnic tables for community members to paint."
"The picnic tables will remain at the high school in front of Mr. Ace's mural. The mobile murals will be placed throughout LAX to welcome visitors arriving for the World Cup."
""If you told me that I would be back here painting one of the walls on this campus when I was in high school, I don't think that I necessarily would have foreseen it," Mr. Ace said as he was putting the finishing touches on his mural last week. "So I'm a little in amazement about just the way life works in that sense.""
"A lot has changed since Jacori Perry attended Morningside High School. Perry is now a renowned artist who goes by the names Mr. Ace and AiseBorn. The school is now known as Inglewood High School United. And the lecture hall on that campus now features a large, ornate mural of a soccer ball being grasped by the hands of two people - freshly painted by the 2004 Morningside graduate as the city of Inglewood prepares to host eight World Cup games at SoFi Stadium starting next month."
Inglewood High School United hosts a newly painted mural created by former student Jacori Perry, known as Mr. Ace and AiseBorn. The mural shows a soccer ball grasped by two hands and is displayed in the school’s lecture hall as the city prepares to host eight World Cup matches at SoFi Stadium. Los Angeles-based artists participated in a Road to World Cup Community Day, leading community painting days that invited residents of all ages to paint designs on portable panels and picnic tables. Some painted pieces remain at the high school, while mobile murals will be installed throughout LAX to welcome arriving visitors. The effort connects soccer, youth, and culture into a lasting symbol of Inglewood pride.
