CA: Hello Xavier, so glad that you took some time with us to talk in the ComfiZone with ComfiArt. Tell me a little about yourself.
XP: Hi, I'm Xavier Perry, Atlanta’s leading visual artist, an Atlanta native as well as a SCAD Alumni. I've worked on projects for several acclaimed organizations such as the Atlanta Braves, Xfinity, Red Bull, Guinness World Records, Atlanta Inspiration Station Praise 102.5 and many more. My signature design is the Love Bomb. The Love Bomb symbolizes the rippling effect of spreading love in communities to counter all division and hate in the world. The design has brought the citizens of Atlanta together and encouraged them to love one another.
