Octopuses are the coolest creatures that I've ever hung out with. Their eyes betray their intelligence and you just haven't been checked out until one of these guys have looked you over. This octopus is painted as overseeing the whole mural.
I painted this happy turtle who is getting his shell cleaned at a surgeon fish drive through in Hawaii.
Have you ever wondered what's underneath a solitary little island? It could be a sleeping zaratan, a gigantic sea turtle in folk lore! Of course pirates have long known about them, hence the pirate ship near by. These are the types of subjects that can make painting a mural for youth so exciting!
Elephants oversee hikers passing their section of a jungle, shared with a dinosaur! One of the aims in painting this school mural was to inspire students' imaginations by mixing real life with fantasy.
Showing humans interacting with nature was an important part of this mural for Aurora Charter School, as I want to encourage students to get out there and experience the wilds. I would not recommend having your tent that close to a fire though, that was just a visual fiction to save space for the caribou nearby.
I am available for freelance. Can't wait for the next exciting project! Could be yours?
