Woods
Deep in the Woods In early 2017 I painted a mural for a boy who loves hunting and the outdoors. His bedroom was already in a camouflage theme. He wanted it to look like he was deep in the woods – his request was a big old tree, vines, and plants. This mural took me […]

My Paintings in Artomat Machines!
