murals
what to expect
ideation
first, we collaborate to figure out what you envision for your mural. this includes the ambiance, color palettes, specific prompts, slogans, phrases, subjects (ex. flowers? a landscape? person?) and so forth. what types of feelings would you like to provoke when someone sees the mural? what is the message?
draft & iterations
based off what we collect together in the ideation phase, we will draft up to 3 different proposals for your mural.
any extra iterations will be an additional cost depending on the size of the mural.
placement
in nearly most (all) situations, we will utilize a projector to determine the placement of the mural. this will give the closest idea of how your mural will look at completion. if this is not possible, we will grid the design and attach to the surface to give you an idea of how the mural would look.
paint!
once the placement is agreed upon, we will roughly outline the mural using either paint, chalk or pencil depending on the texture and evenness of the surface.
after one more check, we will acquire the paints and materials needed to execute the mural! :)
pricing
fine print up front
Committing to a mural is a big step! And there are lots of risks associated with adorning your wall with a giant illustration that is to be seen by walks of all life.
As a general baseline, we charge $25 per square foot/meter.
For example, if you wanted a mural that is 10' x 8', that would equal 80 square feet x $25 = $2000.
Here are some extra expenses that may be added onto the base cost (as seen below) depending on the scale and effort required for your mural:
- Scissor or boom lift
- Scaffolding
- Expedited timeline
- Difficult wall texture
- Anti-graffiti coating
- Extra revisions
- Licensing
- Environmental conditions
5'x5' Special
If the mural only requires under 5 individual quarts of paint and is as tall as I stand and as wide as I lay down. Max of 2 iterations. For interior spaces only. :) Additional fees will apply if there are certain circumstances (ex. number of iterations, level of detail, etc.)
$1000 minimum
Due to labor, energy, cost of materials, and commuting at bare minimum we require a $1000 minimum with a 50% deposit once we agree on terms, conditions and expectations. If you are unable to provide a 50% deposit after signing the agreement, we can work out a payment plan that works for you.
What we need prior to starting your design
Inspiration
Sometimes the possibilities can be exciting and overwhelming for what you envision for a mural. Starting off with a mood board that consists of a color palette, your own doodles/sketches, inspirational words, pictures, art styles that you like can help us generate design ideas that are personal to you.
Measurements
Providing the overall height and width where the artwork will be placed will be used to determine the price and helps determine the proportions when we project the design onto the space.
Photos
In order to complete a design, you will be asked to send photos of the space on which the mural will be painted.
If there is furniture or fixtures that will be in the space, we ask that you leave it in the photos so that it can be designed around. Your photos will be used to capture the atmosphere of your room to make the design fit your custom style and also for the mock-up of your design so that you can see just what it will look like in your space.
iterations
$25 each
Examples: Adding or subtracting a whole element to the design, recreating a new piece of artwork

Examples: Exposed aged brick, thick popcorn, combed concrete, stippled walls, or cinder block are difficult for paint to adhere on and require more layers than usual
