I beleive this mural is on a wall about 15 feet long and 12 feet high, perhaps larger I need to measure.
It is in a tattoo shop called "Kill Devil Tattoo" right next to my work. Another Artist sketched out the basic layout on the wall using a projector and blew in some of the color and outlines with a airbrush. But he was unable to complete the image and for two months it remained only 'blocked in'.
I offered to go in a finish the mural and have done my best to stay respectful of his idea. The faces of the Geisha were nothing but a few pencil lines on a blank wall. I painted them and all the details that you see. Originally some of the image contained florescent colors, which I do not have so it all had to be repainted in regular acrylic artist paints.
I am getting close to completion and wanted some ideas for the upper background that is just flood painted white over the original gold wall.
thanks Sarah
