home / MURALS
if i can get away with a mural design that allows me to freestyle without a projector or vIRTUAL REALITY, this is my preference as i think it simplifies the process [AND makes it far more fun].
freestyle murals require nothing but a digital mock up, good visualizATION SKILLS, and the ability to adapt as i go.
MURALS:
“F*CK IT. I’LL TRY”
2025
a mural on two walls in a personal home gym for the discipline to try again and again at whatever we do.
named after the relation to physical pursuits but also in relation to the fact that this was my first mural that i just decided to try one day [with approval].
THE MESSAGE
“you got this” may be a good, encouraging message for the gym [or life] but this can set us up for disappointment if [and probably when] we fail. most people don’t win at anything on their first try despite what social media might make you believe and this disappointment often leads to self doubt. self doubt makes it harder to keep going and the more times we fail, the more self doubt we have which makes it harder to try again.
i prefer to say “fuck it, i’ll try” which gives less expectation to get it, meaning there is less fear of failure. when we fail without fear, shame, or disappointment, it’s easier to keep trying… which ultimately leads to more success.
“EMBRACE THE CHAOS”
2026
another story to the other two walls in that home gym… one year later.
this one is just about embracing the chaos of the process while we’re in it. and the process for me, was just that: chaos… that i fully embraced.
the colour palette was more colourful than the above while using the same green, the yellow detail, and the black lettering to keep some cohesiveness.
