Zarina Kay. “I wanted to do something that related to kids, adults, and everyone in between, because I think everyone loves space and the mystery of it. To paint something this large, like our neighboring galaxy, I just had to do it. It was an aha moment, because people love to stare off into space, the mix of colors, it was a really good opportunity content-wise. The trickiest part was learning how to layer these colors properly to make sense when you’re looking at it from far away, but once I figured that out I just blew through it.” You can see Zarina's mural, along with 5 others sponsored by the Greater Denton Arts Council at LSA Burger Co.

Matthew Long. “They allowed us to paint whatever we wanted, and I want to do something I probably would never have the opportunity to do again. So I wanted to play on themes of melancholy and dreaming and just letting kids see something they’re familiar with and give them a heavy attachment to it, but also that when adults see it they can reevaluate their lives, see where they’re at, and ask whether or not they’re happy with that based on what their dreams were when they were children. Hopefully it takes people back to that nostalgic melancholy.” You can check out Matthew's mural along with 5 others that were painted over the weekend at LSA Burger Co. (I highly recommend seeing this one in person to appreciate all the little details, like the book titles).

Malcolm Byers. “I always paint faces, portraits are kinda my thing, but all the murals here now and last years are really colorful, so I didn’t want to do a plain face and I added in these blocks of colors and I think it really worked out. It was all with spray paint, and takes a lot of tiny sprays. The hardest part was the cropping of the squares. I totally abandoned my sketch and just freestyled it, especially the placement of colors, making it up as I went.” You can see Malcolm’s mural and 5 others at LSA Burger.

Gracie Piper. “This is what I’ve been painting a lot lately, these kind of loose drawings, continuous line portraits. It’s my first mural, so the scale it much larger than I’m used to, also it’s a different medium for me, I usually paint with watercolors, and painting in an open environment is different for me, with everyone watching, but I actually enjoyed it!” You can check out Gracie's mural, and 5 other new murals, at LSA Burger Co.

Dan Black. “I really like this story from Aesop’s Fables, about the lion and the mouse. In the story, the lion is really proud and boastful until he gets caught in a trap, and finds himself in a situation where he can’t help himself as much as the little mouse can help him, because the mouse chews through the ropes until he’s free. The story is a good reminder to me to not underestimate things that appear to be weak or unnecessary, and not to put too much confidence in my own perceived strength, because I will regularly find myself in situations where I might need help from people I don’t expect. It’s a good humiliating story.” You can check out Dan's new mural at LSA Burger Co. along with 5 others that were painted over the weekend. (It certainly helps to see Dan's in-person to appreciate the glossy accents on the matte paint).
