Just got this email from a friend, and had to share:

Eric in his element, 30' off the ground. He does most of the artwork by himself & researches, paints and designs each project from scratch. His wife Kathy, also an artist, serves as project manager.

Very nice pieces of Mural art, thanks for sharing them DJ. O0
This is incredible. I can think of so many places that art work like that should be placed to improve the overall surrounding areas. I would love to see more work of this person if I can find it on the web.
I just love the Mural art.
Thanks for sharing
