Process
Before we start our collaboration, I encourage you to explore my portfolio. It showcases a diverse range of styles and themes that might inspire your mural vision. Identify the elements and themes you want, aligning them with my artistic style. This will help you clearly articulate your ideas during our discussions.
I. Research and Inspiration
Ready to bring your vision to life? Reach out via my official website's contact page or social media channels. Send a concise, professional email detailing your project specifics—wall dimensions, location, indoor/outdoor, budget, desired completion date, and any concepts you have in mind. Attach reference images or sketches to better illustrate your vision.
II. Email me
Upon receiving your inquiry, I'll schedule an initial consultation, either over the phone, via video call, or in person. This meeting allows us to dive deeper into your project, discussing space details, purpose, audience, and the atmosphere you want to create. Your insights and questions are invaluable during this creative exchange.
III. Initial Consultation
After our consultation, I'll provide a detailed proposal outlining the project scope, estimated timeline, budget, and any additional needs. This might include a preliminary sketch or digital mockup. If the proposal meets your expectations, we'll proceed with a contract that covers terms and conditions, payment schedules, copyright ownership, and provisions for revisions.
IV. Proposal and Contract
With the contract signed and a non-refundable deposit made, the creative process begins. I'll keep you updated with regular progress reports. Depending on the project's complexity, completion might take days or weeks. I'll use various techniques—sketching, painting, yoga poses, and digital rendering—to bring your vision to life.
V. Execution and Collaboration
As the mural nears completion, you'll have the chance to review the final artwork. Assess the color accuracy, composition, and overall impact. If minor adjustments are needed, let me know promptly. Your satisfaction is my top priority. Once you approve the mural, finalize the payment as per our agreed terms.
VI. Completion and Final Touches
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! Upon signing the contract and receiving the deposit, I'll craft an initial concept sketch. Two revisions are included in the cost.
Timelines vary depending on the project's complexity. Smaller murals with low to medium detail typically take two to four days. Larger or more intricate projects may span several weeks. I will keep you informed throughout the process.
The payment schedule for a mural project generally follows this structure:
-
Deposit: An upfront deposit is typically required to secure the project and cover initial costs such as materials and design work. This deposit usually ranges from 25-50% of the total project cost.
-
Progress Payments: For longer projects, progress payments may be requested at key milestones. These payments are based on the completion of specific phases, such as the design phase or the painting phase.
-
Final Payment: Once the mural is complete and you are satisfied with the work, the final payment is due. This amount will cover any remaining balance after deducting the deposit and progress payments.
The exact payment schedule and amounts will be detailed in the contract or proposal. It's important to discuss your payment preferences with me to ensure a clear understanding of the terms before starting the project.

Absolutely, the mural can be tailored to fit a specific budget. During the consultation phase, I will discuss your budget constraints and provide options for materials, size, and design that align with your financial plan.
Keep in mind that the complexity and size of the mural will impact the overall cost. If you have a limited budget, simplifying the design or reducing the mural's size can help keep costs down. I'll work closely with you to find a solution that fits your budget while still bringing your vision to life.
It's important to communicate your budget constraints from the beginning to avoid any surprises or unexpected costs later on. By being clear about your budget, we can ensure that the proposal meets your needs and expectations.
Indoor murals can last for decades, while outdoor murals can endure for years with proper care.
I use low-odor, indoor water-based spray paint for live events. During painting, I recommend not staying in the area without a mask. Together we can figure out the best situation for ventilation on location if indoors.
While rare, I am committed to fixing any defaced artwork at an hourly rate.
I can recommend to apply a clear coat for an additional charge.
I can check out what materials you have for consideration but I do I recommend using my paint and material for optimal quality.
Weather conditions are crucial for outdoor mural projects. Ideally, the temperature should be at least 60°F for optimal results. Dry conditions are essential, so we avoid working during rain or high humidity. High winds and extreme sun/heat can also impact the work, especially in areas with minimal to no shade for protection. If these conditions are forecasted, we may need to adjust the project timeline to ensure the highest quality outcome.
In most cases, if you have permission from the property owner, no permit is needed for exterior artwork. However, local regulations can vary significantly depending on your location. Some municipalities may have specific guidelines or require permits for public art projects, especially if the mural is in a highly visible area or on a historical building. I recommend checking with your local city or county government to ensure compliance with all regulations.
