everyone loves dots

and so it begins.

right around the beginning of this semester i was serendipitously asked by an old friend by the name of jesse to do a mural for him in his house. upon going to class and finding out that a mural on commission is indeed a legitimate assignment for the semester, i took him up on his offer and will soon begin the magical process of mural painting in his house in philadelphia.
i'll include the plans of the space jesse gave me at the bottom of this post...he's very much involved with architecture so the plans don't make much sense to me. i'll be visiting him very shortly and i'll be able to take pictures of the actual space.
as for the content of the mural, it's tentatively going to be a skyline of philly, however that will be more solidified after the first meeting as well.
and the last question: what makes this a mural? well i'd say in this case the intent has a lot to do with it. i was specifically asked to "paint a mural", so i suppose the fact that the audience and artist are going into it with the intention of a mural...makes it a mural in some sense. size-wise it should be a hefty accomplishment for one person, which will certainly make it mural sized to me, and although the audience and location is very private, i don't feel it takes away from the legitimacy of it being a "true mural". but we'll find out how everyone feels about it when it's done.
