Cinerama Movie Theater Mural in Downtown Seattle
In 2014 I was invited to work with Rockwell Studios in Seattle as a lead painter on a head turning mural for Cinerama. Oil paint on brick. Design by Invisible Creature.

“...the mural itself was turning heads the moment it was completed. “I was outside the cinema that day as the painters finished,” Clark says. “People were stopping on the sidewalk, smiling and pointing. A few folks came up to me just to voice their enthusiasm in the art without even knowing I had created it.”
Clark goes on to say that it was a “risky project” in many ways. “I not only wanted to pay homage to the theatre (in a beautiful and compelling way), [but] I also didn’t want to ruin a busy intersection in downtown Seattle with a crappy mural that pedestrians and neighbors hated to look at. I’m also a big mid-century modern architecture fan and wanted to respect the structure (and the original designers). All in all, the reaction and enthusiasm from Seattle (and Cinerama’s loyal customers) have been amazing.””
