Here are a collection of ramblings and reflections from inside my studio.

GRANDEX MEDIA OFFICE MURALS

Back in 2017 the company I worked for (GRANDEX) moved into a new office space. It was an exciting experience. We were all stoked to have our own space! It was in an old paint factory, had great day light. These were the first murals I had ever painted. I used a projector to stencil a design that I had made for some Rowdy Gentleman (Grandex’s apparel brand) swim trunks. My good friend, coworker and design protege Connor Davis helped me paint.


The second mural was of my personal favorite designs that I had made at GRANDEX. ‘The Duck Fish Deer’ ‘The Holy Trinity’. The design was originally printed on shirts for Rowdy Gentleman.


This last piece was just a proof of concept, it never saw the light of day but the concept was to have all the poles in the writers area wrapped to look like the building was being held up by gigantic roman candles. It would have been awesome.
