6′ x 8′ portable mural commissioned by Holland America Cruise Line for their new (2105) Budweiser bar in half moon Cay, Bahamas. Each piece is two parts for easy shipping...by ship!. Taking a cruise there? say hello to these artworks.

Based on actual advertisements from LIFE magazine, late 1940′s, early 1950′s.

A couple of years earlier I did artwork for their Capt Morgan amazing pirate ship bar.

Old school hand sign painting to pay the bills. I use this transfer technique often when time is of the essence, accuracy is important and projector are impossible to use (full day light or wall too high). The charcoal will get in  everywhere.

Another great 4 hours mural created for United Way of Miami and Carnival Cruises Foundation volunteers at a local and very busy after school learning Center. Good old “paint by numbers”system is prep the day before and then it all gets painted in about 4 hours. this time,I did not have to go back for touch ups. It is a logistical challenge for donors, volunteers, artist and venue.

man... it is hot in Miami. Got this done in 16 melting hours in a collaborationprject with @Krave @Atomiko @monz and @DiDi for a new art driven condo: CANVAS MIAMI  in Wynwood. Fumes from spray paint engulf me as I stuck to my old school ways of brushes and rollers. A Miamihistory timeline, i chose the oldest event, that of Cassius Clay ohamed Ali) vs. Sony Liston when in 1964 the later ALI won his first title.

One of the many steps/layer/processes that compose these artworks.A true exercise in patience... sometimes one just has to watch paint (mixed media) dry.
