This was a great project. I bartered with the owner, George Krystychous, to throw in a nine foot, leather pocket, red felt billard table as part of the deal.

The mural consisted of faded faces of stars and starlets of the Golden Era of black and white film. I even got written up in the Washington Post for my work on this project.

This is the conceptual sketch I presented to win the McCormick & Schmick's mural job.

After completing the project, i framed it and gave it to the GM, Pat Gaffney, who gave me one of my first paying gigs.

Another one of my early mural projects.

McCormick & Schmick's wanted to use the 100' x 20' construction wall running the entire span of their K street location as advertising for the restaurant while under construction.

I created a design inspired by the work of Wylan and accented the fish in silver paint so they would catch the light from car headlights at night.

Pat Gaffney, the GM of the restaurant and all around good guy, let me sit in on two of the test nights for the wait staff. Now that's exactly what every starving art student needs!

This volunteer mural was done in coordination with Hands on DC.

I helped a student artist translate his design to commemorate the life of star student athelete and friend, Kelli Bradford, who had been killed by a stray bullet during the school year.

The theme for the project was "The future begins Now." It was my first outdoor mural and I learned very quickly that oil based paint and 3rd graders do not mix well.

Overall it was a great experience. The only depressing statement was that a year later I went back to photograph the mural and someone had spraypainted "Thug Life 4-Ever" across the mural.

It doesn't get any more DC than that.

This mural was commissioned by the Corcoran School of Art for the exterior of on offsite art class facility located at White Flint Mall in Silver Spring, Maryland.

The composition is a group of children painting the Creation of Adam, from the ceiling of St. Peter's Catherdral.

The first in my "Quality of Life" series. I got really into the random walls throughout the city where someone painted over graffitti, creating an abstract form by virtue of the mismatched paint colors.

I started buying rejct paint from home depot and stretching 5 by 6 foot paintings, rolling a color and then having my friends tag the canvas.

We would repeat the process several time to build up some layers on the simulated wall. Afterwords, I ogt the idea to take some of my sketchbook drawings and scale them up over the abstract form.
