It began with the idea from Nik and Paul that myself and one of my murals would be pictured on the cover and possibly inside the cover of one of the Salem, AZ comic books. I thought to myself, rather than show one of the Disney murals or the random requests I have drawn and painted for clients, wouldn't it be great to have one that relates to the comic? Kerry Connelly herself? Absolutely.

Paul was ecstatic about the idea and I know he has been in waiting to see what I've come up with . . . me too. I've always wanted my murals to be mobile and it came apparent to me that afterwards, clients wanted them mobile as well as to take them with them if they moved or rearranged furniture. Paul thought the mobility would work great for conventions as well. Enough said, I was sold on the idea. Mind you, it is my first mural on canvas (all of the others have been created and cast on walls only) so it was almost like working with a new medium. However, the canvas allowed me to create a unique twist by adding in a background element where I did not have to worry about where the background would "end" (it just "ends" at the edge of the canvas).

An artist's work is never complete, so please don't expect to see a "final" piece but it will come pretty close . . .
