My biggest job yet!
I mean seriously....look at the size of the prints they gave me! 
OK....I know that's corny. Architects building....who'd figure that one out huh?
Funny thing is I pulled out my tape measure and their measurements are wrong

You should write the real measurements with pencil colored paint in regular handwriting on top of his.

It's all painted. The windows are real, the detail is painted. The pushpin and shadow is painted, though I never noticed that before you said it. The details at the top, all painted on. I'll take a side shot close up Monday.

so were you involved in the painting portion of this? This is one hell of a painting btw. It has REAL 3D effects to it, and that isn't just a painter who did it, it is a partial artist that put the REAL in that HUGE mural. KUDOS seriously!

No, this is in the parking lot where I park for the day. I'm a block away. Just thought it was a neat thing to see.
