Epic murals transport people to new worlds— standing next to life size renditions allow an audience to to be a part of story. 

For a Jackrabbit window display, I painted a mountainous Martian landscape inhabited by vicious space beasts. While other stores hang photos of athletes in the city streets or Central Park, Jackrabbit had orange-clad astronauts in the latest running gear fleeing carnivorous creatures.

At the Nike house, for New York City’s largest cross-country meet, I chalked an enormous mural of the Van Cortlandt Park Cemetery, featuring gravestones of famous runners and their times. Runners from all over flocked to the house and scrawled their own times on their own stones, side by side with the legends of their sport.

For the Fifth Avenue Mile, I designed another immense mural composed of New York City elements— signs, subway tracks, skylines. As runners picked up the bibs for their race, they stood in front of the mural, suddenly as much a New York fixture as a street light.
