Murals: Quite a Different Experience for an Illustrator!

I haven't written in a few days so here's some words.
I went to Richmond this weekend. It felt so good to be back, like I was back home. My friends and me did all the things I wanted to: went to some of my favorite Fan bars, jogged through Byrd Park, visited the stores in Carytown, and attended a street festival. There was even time for some good old R & R in between.

I can't wait til I go back on the 26th, when I'll be volunteering my design for a mural to go up in (I think) a health club or gym. I've only done one mural before, which was a realistically-styled Colorado mountain in a classroom. Unfortunately, that was only made about 4 years ago and the school is now being torn down as the school's attendance (well really the Brandywine School District's demographics) has brought the need for the numbers of schools in the district down. I had so much fun making that mural, though. It'll be nice to get to experience that again. (I'll post pics when I find them, they're around here somewhere).

I can't believe they're tearing down the school/mural! It was amazing. When you find the pics, I'd like copies.
