SHARE THE ROAD mural
SHARE THE ROAD Oops, I forgot to update my webpage right after I finished this mural, one of my favorites, here in Prescott! I just realized it so I’m doing it now. This mural is on the High Gear Bicycle Shop on Sheldon here where I live in Prescott. It is based on the cartoon…

GASSERS’ GARAGE This mural I just finished (2011) is on the side of a barn here in Prescott. It was inspired by this giant sign the client had gotten from her recently deceased brothers’ estate. His last name was Gasser, and he had it made to hang in this huge garage he had for all…

ANDERSON’S DIORAMA So for a few years now, I’ve been doing landscape murals for Wildlife Images in Scottsdale that were painted in after some company or guy or whoever fabricated these really cool fiberglass rocks.
