 To brighten up and bring life and color back into Elkhorn City, Jordan Justice, an artist known for his large-scale murals, returned to his hometown to paint a mural depicting the life and adventures in Elkhorn City. The business owner here wanted to give back to Elkhorn. They wanted to do a huge mural for just our hometown, the city, because we need some art in this area. So they pretty much said, we want you to design this however you want, let's see what you got. So, this is my imagination, so. Growing up in Elkhorn City, Jordan was able to put his own personal experiences into the mural, and even though Elkhorn is a small town, the adventures you can have are more than words can describe. Just natural stuff, like the river, kayaking, tubing, all that stuff, and then the mountains and razors. I mean, that is like, you cannot come through this area and not see a razor or a full-wheeler or something, and people are always having fun here, so I was like, man, we have to do a 24-hour adventure, that's what Elkhorn is. The Heart and Vascular Institute at Pikeville Medical Center, together we save lives. Jordan adds that his passion for his hometown is the driving force to create something that not only he is proud of, but everyone in the community can be proud of too. Finally, I've been approached to do something in my hometown, but it's like, I've been prepping for this moment, so now that I got the chance to do it here, I feel like I could show what I'm made of, and it's so great to be able to have the freedom to show exactly like the way I vision things. With this new mural representing all that can be enjoyed in the town, Jordan hopes to help boost tourism to the city after seeing a decline of visitors in recent years. This is the first mural to go up in Elkhorn, and I think it represents Elkhorn very well. I mean, there's so much going on here and some people don't realize it, so when you do something like this for them to take a photo with their family in front of it and share it to the world, then people will say, you know, we got to check out this area, because apparently it's an awesome place to go, and it is.
