Mike painting Marilyn for the Route 66 Mother Road Festival

Once again, thanks in part to Mike’s busy schedule, he started working on painting the window of Cafe Brio for the annual Route 66 Mother Road Festival the night before it began.

“I am not grandstanding, I’m just a procrastinator..and very busy!”

Mike started working on this mural at 1a.m. the night before the cruise started and should have it done well…by now unless the distraction of the thousands of patrons is too much for him. Who’s complaining though. Talk about good PR!

“This year I went with the theme of “From Chicago to Hollywood”"

The mural depicts the famous Hollywood Hill with Marilyn Monroe (as pictured here) with Al Capone representing the “Chicago Connection” opposite Marilyn.

Mike has done several Route 66 themed murals and commissioned art pieces so work like this is becoming second nature to our business. Keep checking back; we will get them posted as soon as we can as well as more images and video from this piece!

…have fun at the Cruise Mike! See you in the morning!

Springfield Murals

Mike has just finished up a very nice mural in the alley on the north side of the Trout Lily Cafe in downtwon Springfield, Illinois. The drab alleywall is a popular walkway with a lot of the downtown workers and we recieved many positive comments from people walking by. The historic building really needed a little pizazz and life. The mural definitely did just that.
