“Victory Candy” 2009I painted Victory Candy when I was working at the Art Directors Guild in Los Angeles in 2009.
It caught the eye of the manager of the Lankershim Arts Center in NoHo (North Hollywood) who then asked me to paint murals in the bathrooms for the arts center! She said she wanted the center to look “artsy!” I was so grateful for the opportunity. I was giddy!
It took me just under 55 hours.
Veteran Scenic Artist and Gallery 800 Curator Denis Olsen gave me some great guidance and tools for large scale jobs like that. It was a blast and the murals stayed up for two years! Extra awesome was the exposure of my work to the Production Designers, Art Directors, Scenic Artists, Illustrators and Set Designers of big Hollywood films (members of the Art Directors Guild) whom I respect immensely! Dreams come true…
