school mural project - Claremont High School

Gym graphics were the project at hand recently - this time, I hand painted all four interior walls of this gym at Claremont High School in Los Angeles County, CA. Our design included shadowy wolves staring down this school's sports competition! First, photos of the finished product. Then, some progress photos below.

It started, as always, with a design drawing (below). It ended with more than 15 gallons of paint applied with much care to the school gym walls.

CLAREMONT HS GYM DRAWING

This old gym had existing graphics that were painted around 2007. These photos show how the old graphics began disappearing under new paint:

CLAREMONT HS - BEGINNING PAINTOUT
CLAREMONT HS - SIDE PROGRESS

Next: the focal point, which I ended up calling "Wolf Hill":

CLAREMONT HS - WOLF HILL BEGINNING
CLAREMONT HS - WOLF HILL PROGRESS
CLAREMONT HS - WOLF HILL COMPLETE

Note the conduits / ducts that were unavoidable. My job is to make them disappear! Painting over these with care to continue the lines of the surrounding graphics requires an enormous amount of extra work to do, but the result is they "disappear" in the final product.

Here is a 360 panorama video of the completed project.

Everyone was happy to see the final product - another successful gym graphics school pride project!

You might be thinking about getting this kind of project done, Do you know where to start? I can tell you - contact me, Paul Borne (president of Big City Signs) to find out more.
