In 1994 my brother Howard bugged me to let him make a website of my work on an internet that was just becoming publicly accessible. When I finally and reluctantly agreed I was just about the only mural artist on the internet much less one of the only artists. Yahoo almost immediately gave us a "cool site' rating and it was novel. Yet it was so new it really didn't generate much response. Of course slowly things changed and it has served us well.

In the same way many visitors to my site in recent years have requested prints or posters. So we are finally responding to this request by launching this online store. This is both a new retail opportunity for patrons of my work and a forum for feedback and customer participation.

You are in Control

Your suggestions will ultimately run the store. You will decide on the inventory and we will stock the shelves. You will select new media directions and by what means to bring these trompe l'oeil images to your homes. You will determine the images. Perhaps there is a particular mural that you'd like to have a signed print of or maybe you have a good idea for me to apply like standard door-size images, which someone recently suggested. The point of this new online store isn't just to sell you art but to find ways to make trompe l'oeil art available to average residential art lovers. Send us ideas for making a sort of ..." trompe l'oeil in a box." We're listening.
