My Process

How I get your project from a cool idea to a colorful eye-catcher

Step 1.

Start the conversation by shooting me an email! I'll get in touch with you and start a complimentary brainstorming session to figure out how to make your vision come to life. Tell me your story and the key design elements you want, and I will turn it into a work of art.

Step 2.  

Now that I know who you are and what you want, I start creating 

mock-ups based off of our collective brainstorming.


There is a $150 sketch fee that includes one sketch and two alternations.

Step 3.

Now that we have solidified our vision, I start the job. Once I get started, timing is based on size and complexity. A moderately complex, billboard sized mural takes around four weeks to complete with good weather.

Step 4.

As the painting wraps up, I invite you to give us feedback and let me make sure that you are happy with my work.

Step 5.

Once we all agree, we sign the piece with our logo and celebrate the completion of a new piece of public art that the community will enjoy for years to come!
