in aspen co. was hired to paint these human like animals for a childs loft,the background was painted first on the wall. then some of the characters were painted on wood attached to the stairs as if they were walking up,some were playing instruments ,dancing,even driving cars.all the other characters were painted on canvas then attached to the wall like wallpaper(so they could keep them in the future)it was based on antique fabric that the client had found and this room was for her grandchildren.
