- COMMERCIAL MURALS -
Patrons value authentic experiences from the places they visit. A custom mural is an excellent way to express a unique brand identity. This could be an immersive mood, a spellbinding story, a thought-provoking idea. The environment of your business needs an advantage to get visitors stay a little longer, and come back again and again.
Mural art can be used to promote public identity, stir up social capital and get people really excited about a place. It’s for this reason I’ve encountered many developers and business owners that are hiring talented artists to create murals for their sites.

An immersive Japanese-style mural painted for a unique Tex-Asian Ramen concept.

ULTRA-VIOLET
ULTRAVIOLET VAPOR SHOP
5040 N. TARRANT PKWY, NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS
This mural was completed for the newly opened Ultra-Violet Vapor Lounge. The owner wanted an Octopus painted in the new space, an uplifting mural with a quirky personality that would represent their brand in a light that’s separate from the aggressive associations prevalent within the broader vaping community. I decided to depict the octopus glowing under UV light, connecting the space with gaming and dance culture, as well as tying into subtler themes of self-acceptance and breaking free from cigarette addiction.
