"Chase freedom at the lowest cost" is the mantra of the artist behind a massive new mural in Bridgeport.
Will Corpew is hoping his latest creation will inspire young people in the area to aim high and achieve their dreams.
The new installment is nearly impossible to miss on Golden Hill Street, directly across from the city courthouse.
"A lot of these things that we're painting or portraying are things that kids will look up to to chase their dreams, to get out of the 'hood, to get, you know, through school," Corpew says. "So it's great to be in a position to provide those pieces or murals for people to use to keep going."
