The Union NJ Mural

So, I have owned and operated a Custom Airbrush and Art Supply Shop since 2000 on South Street in Philadelphia. Among other things I do the occasional Mural. This last week I was called to help a business associate Rick Willens to help do a Mural in Union NJ, for a birthing center. Rick provided the basic sketch ( below) and asked for me to do my "thing". The cliente added two more babies to the design...not a problem...lol.

We left late Saturday from Philly to Union NJ. We had a few hiccups while powerwashing the wall, ( had a problem with the drain) but Rick got the wall power washed and once it dried we were able to roll the base colors on the wall.

 We finished up late and needed the paint to dry before step 2. The client provided a hotel for us for the night, so we were able to begin bright and early Sunday.

Sunday, D-day. 

Sunday we began stage 2, where I spray painted the galaxy basic,

chalked in the babies,

and filled the babies.

Once the babies were filled in i then penciled in thier base features for part 3.

Part 3: Airbrush

The fun part! So now was the time to begin finishing everything with the airbrush. 7 hours later and it was finished.

I arrived back in Philly a bit after midnight Monday morning exhausted from working in the heat for 15 hours. Then onto beginning a job for a client..... 

...and now back to the shop before packing for Tampa Florida's TCG Con.
