From start to finish, I worked with Jared Bader along with several other very well established Mural Artists at 8th and Ranstead. This mural was painted directly on the wall, which meant griding the entire 83 foot high wall. This, I can gurantee you, was not fun. Gridding a wall takes forever and is incredibly tedious, but was a necessity on a wall with this much geometry in the design. After getting through those first few weeks, I was very glad that I was there from beginning to end on this project.
As you can see the scale of this wall is amazing, but the scaffolding was built like a cage all the way around. I felt surprisingly comfortable climbing around the wall.
A close up of one of the figures I worked on: of the 25 figures on the mural I painted 12, which I felt very privledged to do.
The finished product....
The crew from left to right: me!, Karl Yoder, Jared Bader, David Guinn, Jamie. Great people, talented artists and I hope to work with all of them again.
