It DOES NOT get better than this in regards to collaborations, good friends, and great projects! HEY SAILOR in downtown Searsport,Maine has been a labor of love over the past year+ and being able to work with Charlie and Kirk since last Fall to create a mural vibe in their new space was just awesome - Having Kirk paint it with me was pretty freaking cool too! They bring their restaurant knowledge in both food and design as well as the ability to deftly manage a restaurant build-out that is just amazing ! Together we worked on a design and a color palette that fit their vision for the space and then hand painted the mural to act as the backdrop for Chef Charlie’s FOOD and the cocktails of Beverage Director Jon Marsiglia - @deejaynoj The mural greets and welcomes you in as you enter the front door creating a great ArtBar experience- The Art Gallery currently showcases the Artwork of Fredrick Kuhn and is definitely worth checking out too, but go visit because of the great Sailor team and unreal food that makes the experience like nothing Searsport has seen before! And, If you have not already watched this episode- You can see more about this project, Stockton Springs+Searsport , my studio, and Hey Sailor on YouTube at Maine Life Media and Season 7 episode 3 at: https://youtu.be/c6KaSzgO2EI #peterwallsart #heysailorhey #maineart #mainefood #searsportmaine #thehichborn #mainelifemedia #stocktonspringsmaine #mainemuralart
Digital layout of the mural guided us to a killer layout in the space!
Color was inspired by the furnishings to work together seamlessly.
In progress after applying the varnish.
A carefully thought out “Gallery” wall brings contemporary Maine Art into the space.
