This little mural, an image from my Shop page, was delivered in April, and just got installed. I love it when clients send pictures of the tiles in their homes. This one happened pretty quickly. Sometimes it takes years; sometimes I never get pictures. The red border is actually painted on the tiles.

It turns out that the folks at Central Valley High School in Spokane Valley, WA sent me a wrong design. It seems when they scanned the student’s drawing to send to me, it only scanned the top of the drawing and left off the date! I said I thought it was odd that the drawing this year was rectangular since it has to fit on a 8” x 8” tile, but I adapted it. Only when they saw the finished tile did they realize their mistake. So I get paid for two this year. In one way, it’s too bad, since 8x8 white tiles are REALLY hard to find, and this took one more of my stash. But here’s this year’s tile, which is about the 15th one I’ve done for them.

Here’s this year’s tile for the senior class at Central Valley High School in Spokane Valley, WA. Every year they have a contest among the seniors to design a tile to commemorate their year. I’ve been taking their designs and reproducing them on a 8”’ x 8” tile every year for about 15 years now. They are soon going to have to start on the third wall in the school cafeteria.

This seems to be the most popular image on the Shop page. I think this is the third time so far this year I’ve painted this image for someone. It’s a little different this time. I changed the ferry boat to a slightly newer, but still vintage, boat. I think this is going to be the standard image form now on.

This little mural, china paint on commercial tile, will be installed in a wall over a counter in a wine cellar. It depicts the town of Sancerre in France, and is a composite of several photos taken by the client.

Here’s a small mural in a style I don’t often work in. A lot of glare from the skylight in the photo, but you get the idea. As with almost all of my work these days, it’s china paint on commercial tile, and an example of my policy that I can work in any style.

This is a slightly bigger rendition of one of the catalogue images. It will go on the front of a tub enclosure. There will be more tile to the left of this image, but that will be behind the toilet.

I just posted a link to an interview with me done by Antoinette Badenhorst in 2018. It’s on the Workshops page or you can see it on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlJW0VnOuUU.

This is another small mural from my Shop page. It’s going to go into a kitchen backsplash.

Not all the jobs I do are big and impressive. Here’s one that’s about as small as it gets. But nice.
