Coffee shop murals...

-  It was brought to my attention that I was really behind on my blog updates. Just been traveling a bunch. So I'm going try to get back on track here.  - 

Several weeks ago I was asked to paint several mural panels for a brand new coffee shop opening up in December in Grand Junction, CO. I even got a little newspaper article press while there.
 I worked on all four 8ft x 4ft panels over a 4 day period. The first part I was asked to create was a piece that incorporated how coffee connects people and community. Like a giant melting pot combining different places around the globe.
The second part of the mural I was given free range to create something fun. I liked the idea of chipmunks / squirrels enjoying some morning coffee out of acorns together. This was a real fun piece to create especially since I tried to give each character their own personality.
