Work Title
Gene Tierney w/Floating roses, Commissioned in 2016 (~40 hours to complete)
General
Blumengarten had reached out to me to discuss a mural on their sidewall. I selected Gene Tierney and added some lavender, purple and red rose petals to give an energy to the piece. A dynamic sense of movement.
Process
Working with the owners of the Cafe, we collaborated on various concepts for almost 3 weeks. Once one of the sketched designs were agreed upon, I began the planning phase of the work. The size and visual complexity of this piece required blah words words words. Overall, this piece took 7 weeks to complete. words words words.
See This Piece in Person
Stop in Zerrer’s antiques across the street, a favorite of mine. Edgars best Tacos is a half block away, and I ate quite a few of their tacos while creating this mural.
