The owner of the truck invited me to paint the previous truck and he told me I could paint whatever I wanted and I choose "Grumpy Cat". Everyone from the neighborhood enjoyed it tremendously. The truck travels over the bay bridge almost every night from San Francisco to Oakland and Back. I wish I could see the commuters facial expressions.

WK Market Mural (WK Market Sign & Low Rider)
Exterior Mural on 24th and Folsom. San Francisco, Ca. 14’x120’. October 2015
The corner store had some vandalism issues on their wall for several years. Each and every time a vandal tagged their corner wall, the owners were fined by the city to cover it up. So instead of paying almost every week to erase graffiti on their walls, they got in contact with a local community Art Gallery owner (Mission Art 415) who have access to many of the local artists and had me commission a mural the size of 14' x 120' feet. It took me almost a month because I was also notified by the City of San Francisco to join their Fire Department (A dream of mine since 1985).

CRAYONE (with Raevyn and Howling Wolf aka Picasso and Bas1)
Nimby: 8410 Amelia St, Oakland, California 94621. 15’x25’. April 2014
The owner of Nimby and I agreed to have some of his walls painted. I always wanted walls to experiment and Nimby had unique wall spaces. Most of the artists their were working on large metal and very loud art projects for Burning Man and other events. Most were space available to use for local venues like musical acts or even large scale meetings. I did 3 pieces here. Piece 1, Piece 2 and Piece 3.

Quetzal Bird
Wall located between 24th and 25th street on Lilac Alley. San Francisco, Ca. 13’x13’. March 2016
My agent had a couple who owned a local coffee brewing company and wanted street art on most of their branding. The company is called 3:19. Both couple had the same birthdays. Both born on March 19. They had several beans that were coming in from different parts of the world and i really wanted to do the Guatemalan theme coffee. So after a few hours of digging into the culture and i found that the national bird will do fine with a little twist. Just found out that they put up a video and page on their site and on their about us page. Pretty happy that there are companies out there that do support the arts!

EL AZTECA TAQUERIA Mural

When I was finish up on the Dharma mural and man who owned a local Taqueria on 3rd Street wanted a mural done on his wall/business. Once we met up, we discussed his likes and dislikes on the possiblities on the potential mural. I went home and came up with a photoshop digital sketch superimposed onto the photo of his business with the empty wall. The final outcome looks very similar to the design work in did in that first computer format. From left to right is: Francisco Pancho Villa, Cesar Chavez, Frida Kahlo, Xochipilli and Emiliano Zapata Salazar.

DHARMA Mural (Mother Teresa hold a baby)
Located near the corner of 22nd and Mission St.. San Francisco, Ca. 50’x125’. March 2015
What really inspired me about this particular mural project was that it wasn't going to be the norm. The owner wanted specific key figures on his wall and with a minor changes going back and forth, the final product came to be. The condition of the house was pretty dire. There were 3 sets of fires the previous 4 years and while they were fixing the sides of the damaged portion of the house, I managed to piggy back off of the construction company scaffolding and within 12 days the mural was finished, There was even a mural ceremony from the community to help recognize not only the talent it took to make it happen but the content was very strong. I did take many photos of the process of the mural and also the mural celebration where the local police chief, The chief of the fire department and Amos Brown among many other leaders of the community came out to celebrate.

OAKLAND FIRE DEPARTMENT Mural (Union 55)
Interior wall located on 15th St (between Franklyn and Webster) in Oakland, Ca. 10’x16’. July 2013
Once I did the inside of the Love Oakland Art Gallery, the next door neighbor (Union 55 of the Oakland Fire Department) commission me to produced something in their interior. I wanted to something dramatic and they also wanted a union logo. So all the painting was done with Spraypaint and the logo was a stencil 3 step process of layering each color. But in the end, it was well worth it because of the time, I do not like to use a stencil but if a job requires it, thats it. Done deal.

Call Socket Mural (Whole)
Interior wall located in the 3rd floor of the Tribune building. Oakland, Ca. 18’x10’. June 2014
I had a friend who worked for a call center in the Tribune building and the company wanted to do a surprise party for their owner who also happens to own the Tribune building. So once the art direction was final i got to work on the mural for several days. Once it was finished, we had a surprise party for the owner loved it! But at the same event, a paint contractor who was also was a friend of the owner came up to me and asked me, "How much did it cost for the mural?" and I told him. Even though i did explain i could of charged more but a friend of mine asked if I can charge at a lower rate cause their budget was limited so I took that into consideration when getting the deal. I told him, "$2500.00". And what he said I will never forget... he said in all sincerity, respectfully with a little bit of concern for me..., "We get paid to paint that amount of wall space WHITE for $2500.00" (of course he uses several coats including a primer and all that but still... ) It blows my mind on how much we let ourselves get eatin up by corporations and not knowing our worth. Sure if you charge alot you might not get the job, so prices are given out knowing what you have going on in the background (current state of ones business).
