From the imagination of Hebru Brantley comes Nevermore Park, a large-scale immersive art experience that is your portal into the Flyboy Universe.

“The place I’m building is where you have the freedom and space to dream. Drop your guard. Don’t be afraid to like things that others might label as nerdy, weird or strange. Life is too short to be consumed by what other people may think of you. The best part? It’s a place for people of all ages.” — Hebru Brantley, from his artist statement

Official Description Follows

This 6,000 square foot immersive art experience will transport you into an exciting alternate reality filled with new sights and sounds. Powered by the imagination of artist Hebru Brantley, visitors will get the chance to spend a day in the life of his iconic characters, Flyboy and Lil Mama. Come explore this vibrant community filled with joy, hope, and wonder! Expect the unexpected around every corner.

Hebru Brantley creates narrative driven work revolving around his conceptualized iconic characters. Brantley utilizes these iconic characters to address complex ideas around nostalgia, the mental psyche, power and hope. Brantley’s work challenges the traditional view of the hero or protagonist.
