Former Crest Theater-12x12-SOLD

Did this one on Lumina Ave. in Wrightsville Beach this morning. then a little surf session in the afternoon. now thats what i call a great day. if i had eaten sushi or hot wings that would have been the Awesome Trifecta.


you know this may seem weird but i love the telephone wires in this one. theyre there but dont look too dark and artificial. i painted them a whole value lighter than i usually do and then made em real thin in places, almost disappearing. cool, i found the trick to wires! thats what doing something over and over will do. you stumble on the answer to stuff.
