I didn't realize it at the time but this mural was about........8 times bigger than any I had ever done before. It was at least twice as tall as my tallest piece and at least twice as wide, not to mention I had 1 day, a few cans of paint, a bit of a hangover and 90 degree weather. Nonetheless, the painting started to come together after about two or so hours and from there, it was just completing the vision. I snagged about eight pictures (out of the 50 or so taken) that best show the steps taken in creating the piece, each showing a different side from the finished mural.

It's not the worst start I could imagine...

| Realizations 2 hrs in wooden ladder=strong as an ox, aluminum ladder=stilts made of tissue paper |
 |
| 3-4 hrs into the painting person on street- "what's it gonna be?" me- "no clue whatsoever." |
 |
| finally a direction starts to show through |
 |
