XOSweeney is a contemporary street artist making a real impact in Florida.

Love and positivity shine as Chris Sweeney’s foremost influences. He studied art, education and sociology at Jacksonville University before becoming an elementary school teacher in South Florida. He followed in the footsteps of his mother, who was a second grade teacher, but also pioneered his own unique path— one of spreading unconditional love and an appreciation of the arts to Florida’s youth. As a whole, he has taught at both middle and elementary schools, volunteered at the Boys and Girls Club and worked in a day care center, using interactive lessons to expose children to art while they are most impressionable. It was this career path that resulted in the creation of his titular character, XORobot, the product of a “create your own comic character” exercise in his classroom. Sweeney uses the XORobot as an example of a machine that runs exclusively off of love, much like we do.
