I realize I haven't updated in a very long time, so I thought I would take the time to revisit what I have done for the last year. I was honored last summer to be apart of the Eagles Playground Build 2007 at the William Dick Elementary School located at 24th and Diamond. This project is a collaboration between the Philadelphia Eagles, The Philadelphia School District, The Mural Arts Program of Philadelphia, as well as countless local volunteers and businesses. It was a month of prep for one big Paint Day, followed by, a month and a half of finishing Murals that wrapped around the entire school and 13 interior Murals, in hallways, the gym, auditorium and cafeteria. Even thinking back on the venture it is amazing how much we accomplished. When I say "we" I am referring to the entire team of artists that tackled (no pun intended) the complete transformation, Dave McShane, Lead Artist who designed the exterior murals, Paul Downie and myself designed the interior murals, and several Assistants who worked especially hard, my favorite being Mary Ellis Hall. The pictures above is a 2nd grade class painting on cloth outside that was later adherred to an interior wall, and Eagles Players and staff painting with a 3rd grade class on the interior walls.
