Caitlin Clark gets a massive 21-foot Christmas mural made from 5,000 Post-it Notes

A giant Christmas-themed portrait of WNBA star Caitlin Clark has been unveiled at Alice Lloyd College in eastern Kentucky. The artwork, created by second-grade teacher Tyler Watts, stands approximately 21 feet (6.4 meters) tall and consists of around 5,000 colorful Post-it Notes. Watts, nicknamed the “Post-it Picasso,” spent about a month designing the portrait before assembling it. Local television station WYMT reported the story on November 12, 2026.Watts described the Clark portrait as the most challenging mural he has created. One of the biggest difficulties was reproducing small details, particularly the fingers on Clark's hand. The large scale allowed him to develop those details more precisely. Watts said he chose Clark because he wanted to create a mural featuring a basketball player.The artwork is his 48th sticky-note mural in a decade. Watts began experimenting with Post-it art in his living room and has since created portraits of Muhammad Ali, characters from The Muppets, and other recognizable figures. His materials are supplied with assistance from the 3M manufacturing plant in Cynthiana, Kentucky.
