Different Fur Mural

My friend Patrick Brown, owner of the legendary Different Fur recording studio, asked me to create murals for two of the studio's walls. My first thought was, I don't do that. But over drinks at the Lexington Club next door, he convinced me. The walls in question were pretty hideous, so I felt it was my duty as an artist.

I put together a sketch using 48 patterns or wallpaper, cut into 6" squares, and assembled as a slow gradiant going from dark to light.

With my trusted assistant, Ayrn, we set to work

Ayrn, cutting squares. Note the Sparks, fuel for all late night creative ventures.

The very first square.
