Way cool, Wade! Murals are a blast, you are gonna love this big stuff. Just remember to keep stepping back to take a look at the "big picture". (I used to paint 14' x 40' billboards...Taco Bell dog, Ford cars, pizzas,etc)

It's amazing how different they look from even 15 feet away. Trying to keep the visual "punch" just means lots more light and more dark than you would put in something that is viewed in a more intimate way.

Keep us posted - can't wait to see how it turns out!

so true im having a hard time working with the projector. trying to deal with the lights and trying not to lose the details.

Great news, Wade. What type of club is it for? Let's some in progress! congrats.!

Wade, a good thing to do with your image before using it on the projector...to see the projected image more clearly...use a fine sharpie around the major outlines of your image. They will show up fantastically when you project, even in rooms with lights on.

Feel free to email me if you have any other questions. I'm a walldog.
