NOT ONE TO PEG DOWN: Leon “Tes One” Bedore creates works that, according to his bio, “contrast nature with technology, grime with grace.”

He’ll want to share credit with collaborators including Chris Parks, aka Pale Horse, and BASK, but there’s no debating that Tes One has had a banner year. In addition to co-curating Leave a Message, the Morean Arts Center’s street art-inspired show, Tes left his graphic mark on St. Pete with two different murals (one painted with BASK, the other with Parks) and on the covers of Mead’s Five Star notebooks.
