The PFS Mural Project


Yours truly was commissioned by Charlie Casey of Pacific Foundation Services to paint a mural at their office in San Francisco.

Check out their site, they do really great things for the Bay Area community and beyond: http://www.pfs-llc.net/index.html

A couple weeks prior, I painted a mural in my friend Eric's kid's room. Eric works as Senior Program Staff at PFS and he had shared a picture of the mural to his workmates. Charlie saw a picture of the mural & he wanted one too!


To the left is a photo of my last mural Charlie saw.

With expectations of covering a nice, discreet wall inside the warm, pleasant interior of PFS' office, I followed Charlie and Eric into a conference room and was directed to look out the window. Pointing at a wall outside, on a building opposite the window, three stories up high, Charlie nonchalantly intoned, "That's where we'd like our mural."

At that exact moment, I discretely muffled the sound of my heart falling on the floor. Grateful that there was carpeting...

The wall in all its unpainted glory to the right.

Now, it's at this point of the story, someone with a rather timid disposition would have turned on their timid heels in order to hide behind a nice comfy project like folding a thousand paper cranes or making a portrait of one's auntie in colored macaroni.

Alas, yours truly's heels stayed put and resolutely began the process of what is known as "The PFS Mural Project"

Dear reader, this blog begins with how this Project develops from here on...and in between and afterwards I'll pass on to you anything else worth noting in hand-made or digital artwork or graphics that I do. I may also call to your attention visuals or other items that are worthy of your time.

As always, feel free to correspond accordingly with the kindness afforded to a discriminating patron of good taste.

Enjoy the show...
