At the airport waiting for the red-eye to Nicaragua. Looking forward to kicking out this mural project with Abby and Andrew, doing some surfing and just enjoying the time away. This is Abby’s first trip out of the U.S. and should be one for all time – plus our first big project together. Keep posted to the blog for project updates and photos of the process, you won’t want to miss this.

One week and counting until we are off to Nicaragua for our next mural project. We’ve been gathering supplies, packing cloths, making preparations with our hosts so as soon as we arrive we can get right to work, if you want to call it that.  All the fish have been coming alive through our sketches and we have come up with some pretty nice images so far. The latest additions are the Hoos,  the Wahoo and the Ballyhoo. Both of these fish have great color and patterns that will make them pop once painted – we can’t wait to put these on the wall. Enjoy.

Well, we did it again and scored another mural gig in Nicaragua. This project will be for Lance & Kristen Moss at Surfari Charters. Lance caught us finishing up Tony’s mural at The Surf Sanctuary and liked it so much he felt he needed one too. The specs are very similar to The Sanctuary’s, a deep sea underwater scene with dolphin, marlin and the associated bait fish for pelagic fish. The project will be completed in his bar seating area and poses some creative challenges within the space – which we always enjoy. With the extra time we had to plan for this project we were able to complete some detailed sketches to help push us in new directions. Also, as an added benefit we are bringing along Abby Salter on this trip to lend us her very talented artistic skills. Enjoy the pics and keep checking back for updates.
