Progress Shots of the Mural on North Avenue

Posted: July 9th, 2009 | Author: | Category: Art News, Guest Posts, Photos | 3 Comments »

For the past two nights I have been working on a mural adjacent to a day care center for children in East Baltimore on North Avenue and Broadway. Since the primary audience will be the children and their parents, and since our small budget is being covered, I thought it would be a good chance to use a wild palette that I generally shy away from. 

 Here are some photos from last night’s progress. My portion of the painting will be completed tonight! A big, grateful shout out to John Aquila for organizing the session, Karl Miller for the photos and Carey for helping paint the image

Simply four colors of enamel paint, a ladder, brushes and a projector. For more photos check out my flickr. I’ll be sure to post documentation of the final results

    jeez thats lame using a projector. It’s not hard using your eye like a an artist should be able to do. this is just colouring in on a large scale.

    that is one of the stupidest things i ve ever heard. the intention was exactly that. to copy the image i had created verbatim. Sorry if the process was lame but the intention was the end result not in the execution
