Finally pulled it together…

…all the photos from the Pirate’s House mural. I must say, this one sure is hard to photograph, so the next time you’re floating around downtown, drop by to see it. Just tell them you’d like to take a peek at Captain Flint’s Hall, and they’ll give you the tour. Enjoy!

Oh yeah, and Mr. UPS is due to drop off some yummy new paints for my next mural today! I can’t wait to get out of this studio and on location again.
Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

As some of you are aware…there’s a whole other side to the Pirate’s House mural. I’ve held off on painting that side for two reasons:
1. I had to haul my overhead projector out of the attic…(and that thing’s heavy)
2. The use of said heavy object makes this side considerably easier to paint than the left side.

For the detail involved in this map, you would think one would be out of his/her mind to attempt it…but it’s rather rhythmic when your using a projector. If you’re an artist, and you like to paint murals…I highly suggest finding a spot for one of these in your attic…
Pirates House update…
August 17, 2008
Moving right along over there…and let me just say that the entire crew at the Pirate’s House has been such a pleasure to work with…friendly, helpful, and encouraging…not to mention, they have pirates giving tours throughout the day, so I get to hear all about the wonderful history and ghostly encounters that go on around there…

The pirates are coming along nicely, although I had to stop myself from working any further this day. Sometimes my brush and brain just don’t work together like they should…it’s times like this that I often do more damage than good to my work…so best to put the brush down and pick it back up another day. This isn’t uncommon on a canvas this size…I mean, it can kind of gobble you up if your not careful…
