17 Again- NYC Park Ave.

Gran Torino

Portland, Oregon. 50,000 sq. feet +

This job is a continuation of a blue heron that was painted by us in 1991. It is on the Portland memorial building in Sellwood district. This is a huge project that we have put on hold due to the cold weather. We will be continuing in the spring to finish the mural and also repaint the Blue heron. It was approved by the regional arts and culture council in order to even start. We are also working with Mike Houch of the Urban Greenspaces Inst. to help raise money. All these birds are migratory to this area of Oaks bottom in Portland. There will be Mallards, Hooded Mcgansers, Ospray, canadaian geese, redtailed hawk, Blue herons, egrets, bald eagles, red winged black birds, owls, beavers and more..... . . keep lookout can see this one from many points in Portland and we will be finishing in Spring.

JVC Times Square...

This is two shots of before and after job for clear channel in times square. It was done with a boom lift. Looks even better in person.

Four Christmases, Park Ave. NYC.

NYC

Marilyn Monroe on Fox Studios. L.A.

This is from the seven year itch. Its on the side of the Fox Studios in L.A.

Las Vegas, Barry Manilow

"Las Vegas Heat Wave" Not a single day was below 101 with a high of 109 degrees for two days. Mind you that this wall looks down directly at the pool, all day people are swimming, drinking and taking pictures. This was done by Sunny and Shane in a total of nine days from start to finish. The wall was in direct sunlight at 10:30 AM till sundown. This made for very frustrating conditions for painting, the paint would dry instantly. We had very little time to blend the colors. By 9:30am while still in the shade we would have to wipe off our faces from sweat at least every half hour. Special thanks to Derek for the dry-fits, and SkyTag for making it all possible.

Max Payne, Hotel Fig, LA

This picture doesn't really do justice it looks ten times better in person.

Heineken Completed

NYC Harlem Hieneken Wall

This is me taking down the old ad and starting a new one. Finished picture will follow. Sometimes rigging can be tricky in NYC.

But not when you have a uhaul van to carry a 24' rig from midtown all the way out the FDR to 155th in Harlem. haha Funtimes.

Park Ave South & 23rd. NYC

Nights in Rodanthe, "another epic love saga". 60' faces. I also took a lot of video for this one and will post the link to the latest Art Fx video on the next blog when the video is finished.

Batman NYC

We finished this wall in record time, it was by far the fastest wall painted this year for Art Fx. Summer is right around the corner for NYC. We had a fun BBQ in the park and had a lot of time off after this job.

Panda in Progress

Hotel Fig. Grand Theft Auto

Bleeker St. - Hennessy

Bleeker and 7th St. This mural is in a Great Location. The foot traffic is very very high. One day they were filming a movie right across the street. The next day a building went up in flames and was put out in no time by the FDNY. The doubledecker city tour buses go left right here so those people are constantly waving and taking pictures all day. Really a fun wall to work on.

Speed Racer

This mural gets the "Most Detailed" award of the year so far.

Only took 6 days to paint.

34th & 8th

Finally finished. Worst wall for Art Fx this year for many many reasons left unsaid. Wall turned out really nice.

NYC is still COLD!!!!!!!

Winter is still kicking in NYC. We have had our typical bad weather this trip so far full of rain, high winds, and cold temperatures. We are wrapping up the 34th and 8th ave. wall now and starting Park Ave. Speed Racer tomorrow. We all went to Toots and Mytals the other night and man what a show. Dont ever pass up that concert. More pictures to come.

Fig Monster Los Angeles

This wall is the back side of the Nike Mural. We started this wall the same time we were doing Nike.
