ON A MORE POSITIVE NOTE....

Ok, so now that I got that out of my system, and hopefully left an impression by sharing my experiences, you now better understand that its important in this business to:

• have financial back up for the lean times (there will be some)
  
• learn about marketing techniques that work
• learn about contracts and proposals and when to use them
• study to be the best at what you do so your chances of staying busy are increased
• have a back up plan..... if you're a muralist, take some classes in faux finishing or be willing to do some straight painting to fill in those periods between mural work
• And don't put things off til tomorrow when they need to be dealt with yesterday

There's more, but that'll do for now :-) Visit forums like fauxforum.com to get a lot of helpful information.

I've been looking at some videos on the subject of murals on youtube. And of course hours later.....here's some put together by Chris aka 'langblank' on some of my favorite mural artists. What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

• John Pugh
• Graham Rust
• Eric Grohe
• Kurt Wenner (street painting)
• Kurt Wenner (murals)
• Richard Haas
