NEW WORK; William Morris Mural @ Alley Gallery, Evanston Il

The mural is 9′ X 9′ and took eight days for me to paint, Ross Martens and Darren Oberto put in a little time on it too.  If you’d like one in your house or business email me at tctotheb@gmail.com for commission pricing.  Thanks to my peeps at the Alley Gallery for helping the customers and getting framing done while I worked on the piece.
