Painting A Mural pt.1

Todays blog post is a fun one, I been working on a BIG project for the entire month of Janurary. The opportunity came from a jiu jitsu friend who wanted to open up a restaurant ask me if I’ed be down to paint a mural.

I have always dreamed about painting murals but never had to chance so when he asked I jumped at it. Its been SOO much work, every weekend all days and 3hrs after work daily. Its been a challenge because I have never done this on this scale but it cant be much different from my sketch book (was my thought)

Below are some pictures of the process, I will update when I finish.
