The Bullet Train Mural. Now this was a challenging mural. Located on the corners of G and Fresno St it was painted in the summer of 2005. First let me say a big thank you to Ernesto Palomino, he had designed it and wanted me to execute it from his drawing of Fresno's future. I've worked with other artists, and have also painted what they have designed. I'm a commercial sign artist, it's what I do at different times. Next was the type of wall it was, all concrete blocks 3" x 7" 16' high x 59' long, now that's alot of blocks. In the beginning the few that helped me on this was Melody Berlinski. Richard Bustamante, and even ole JJ Johnson. Here's a few pictures of how it was done...
