Shorter day today on the mural but we added more birds and Viki painted some gorgeous mountatins.

Day 5: Mostly Vicki worked on distant vistas and finished up laying in water.  Cari was a floral goddess that also developed folliage and I workd on many frogs and a few birds.

We really worked today.  Mostly finishing the bird wall drawing and Cari and Vicki outlined and brought the fish in the entrance to life with character. No photos of the day today, but many will follow soon.  Again, I love the ladies I'm working with on this project and Cari is a great boss/captain/leader. 

Working last minute on a poster design to be auctioned off.  Hope I make it before the deadline!

So sore and tired.  Going up and down that ladder so much must count as excercise!

The Crew: Our ring master is the talented Cari Shaeffer Kitchens.  Partners in crime are Vicki http://ourworldds.com/about_our_world.html and myself.

A friend of mine was looking for a solo debut album cover.  Lucky for me, he hired me and I got to play with photoshop.  Pretty jazzed because it's a new thing for me.  Now, we're talking about the insert.  Check out his work at:
