telepole mural

Here is the sketch Narangkar and I submitted for our mural proposal for the new downtown Oakland location of the Touchstone Climbing Gym. The gym is called the Great Western Power Company because that was the name of the original company to own the building (like Iron Works Gym in Berkeley). So the telephone poles and wires sorta fit that. The wall (which is indoors in the weight / aerobic room) is 27 feet wide and 16 feet tall. The mural starts 6 feet up the wall (so it will be 10' tall). The negetive space of the sky will be colored patchwork and reflect the hues of dawn, day, and dusk. Narangkar is gonna handle the colors and the project management while I did this original sketch. We'll both do the painting, along with any volunteers. Anyone?
We should be painting in December so I'll post photos of the progress.

Here is our original painting collaboration from 2005 that the mural is based on:
