I've been working on this mural in my dining room for quite some time. Like most things, I don't have a lot of time to devote to it. It's based on a painting called
The Drunken Cleric by an artist known as Shag (Josh Agle). I stumbled upon one of his art books at Half Price Books and really enjoyed his retro-50s-jazz album cover style. When I moved into my house, there was a carved wooden sign hanging over my sink, featuring two tiki heads and the word "CERVEZA'S." So I thought: why not continue the theme in the dining room. Seemed like fun at the time. The pictures show the mural at near completion. I just have to touch up the blue-green background. You might notice some yellow around a few of the figures. That, unfortunately, was the original color of the wall. Drunken monkeys and tikis are a grand improvement, I think.
Here's an image of the original painting.
