Before the marvel of this Night Mural

About the Mural

164′ x 24′ – Graphite drawing scanned and produced in Adobe Illustrator. Output to 4′ wallpaper.

This mural consisted of a traditional Advent theme within a traditional stained glass adaptation. The Alpha and Omega are prominent in the center panels, surrounding Jesus as the “source of things that are, have been, and will be.ˮ The Alpha also serves as the stable with the Omega completing its glow. Surrounding the Nativity is the heavenly host with their wings encompassing scenes of Advent proclaiming the birth of Christ.

As much as I love traditional murals, the above mural needed to be trimmed in size by a third with just weeks until the concert—impossible with painted panels. By producing it digitally, the deadline was met.
