I’m about to get on the road for the drive back to the east coast even though I have more than one job pending here in San Diego. Since nobody is moving fast enough and I miss my kids, off I go.

First here are single pics of the finished mural panels right and left. These were taken from the ladder we set up in the shop and show better detail of both mural image and mural surface, which was a real challenge.

This mural was painted on vertical blinds (122 pieces!), each of which has a vertical groove pattern that required almost every mark on this mural to be done with spray work– you may have seen my daily mobile praise for my Iwata paint guns. Each panel is approx 16′ wide and 7.5′ tall and painted exclusively in Nova Color Artists’ paint, easily the best acrylic paint ever made (thanks for all your help on this job, Barbara!).

More detail pics and installation pics coming soon, I feel its time to go now.

With the exception of my iPhone dying last Saturday, the San Diego city mural is now complete and installed with a minimum of hassle. Here’s a quick camera pic for now while I organize the rest– until I get my iPhone repaired or replaced, no more instant publishing.

Cleaned up the studio today for an impromptu opening tonight during the South Park Walkabout– if you’re in San Diego, head over and stop in the big open doors on 30th and Juniper near the corner with the musicians under the awning. Get a one time only look at the San Diego cityscape mural I’ve been creating on 30 feet of vertical blinds.

My friend photographer Mike Brown will be screening the first cut of the time lapse video he has been shooting the last week documenting my progress painting the mural. If you can’t make it, here’s a couple mural process shots of mine. I’ll post a link to Mike’s videos when they’re uploaded.
