Mariachi Skeletons #1 & #2


Here are the first two (of five) skeletal mariachi that will be adorning the walls of the Cameron House. You have to follow the rules of murals Rule 1) Movement the things have to flow from one side to the other, angles are good and so are figures in motion 2) Colour lets get a cool palette that will really pop on the golden walls of the Cameron and keep it limited to five/six colours 3) It's gotta be clear and fun (that's my own rule)
Alright, the weather is great outside and it's time to get started on two more.

The Press Club/ Cameron House news

Jimmy Byron mourns the loss of artwork
I have taken down the Anniversary Sale at the Press Club and also the "dedicated wall". This is going to be a very busy summer I have several projects on the go that are going to have me working at home in the studio or writing on the back porch and it's best that someone else take the space. I won't be in the West End that often so it's time to close down the dedicated wall for awhile.
Lucky for you the person who will be hanging in the "dedicated" area is Jack Breakfast! He'll have his great shots of birds up on the wall and they are priced to sell. Many thanks to the Hickey Bros. Veronika, Ian Philp and of course Jimmy for their support over the years.
 
Starting next Thursday I'll be doing a large figure based mural inside the Cameron House, I'm drawing and designing it right now and let me say, it's going to be fun. There will be skeletal mariachi, ants, flying records and musical instruments, flowers, sticks of dynamite it's going to be nuts. The mural will be up until around September so keep coming back here to see it progress. In other Cameron House news, Cameron Street will be closed and turned into an outdoor venue on the 15 & 16th,read about that here https://www.facebook.com/events/394480184000962/ad
