Graeff’s blue and orange palette draws on southern California retro style. His clouds part for the Space Shuttle’s historical passage through the City. Presenting Inglewood’s fallen police officers, lost in the line of duty, alongside the City’s landmarks and landscapes, Inglewood Forever is a visual tribute of dignity and thanksgiving.
