"I Painted That Black Dot" - My first large scale, outdoor mural

109 Ossington Ave

Toronto, Canada

 

So I've entered the world of mural painting.  It's always been a dream of mine; 

to paint a mural, Downtown Toronto.  This is the first large scale, outdoor mural
I had the honour to have a hand in painting.  I was part of a crew assisting a
very talented artist, William Lazos.  See his work at: www.williamlazos.com

To say the least, it was quite the experience.  On the first day, I was asked to help

build the 30 foot scaffolding I'd be using to work on the mural.  I was petrified, and

my mantra became "For the love of art, for the love of art, for the love of art..."

However, by day two, my inner monkey was channeled, and I was loving every

minute of it.  Now that this mural is complete I'm lucky enough to be starting a new

one, with William, next week.  Eventually, I hope to design and execute my own
mural.Until then, I'm more than happy to assist other artists, while working in

good company, and doing what I love most.  Absolutely no complaints.
