Trader Joe's asked me to do a mural of Reed College, to tie in the SE Portland store with its neighborhood. I like Trader Joe's philosophy, which shirks the image of the corporate grocery store as a bunch of cookie-cutter box stores, instead personalizing each store to its own environs.
This is the first 40% of the painting, which will hang high on the ceiling, and be just under 50 feet long. I'm slated to be done with the piece in November and will post more pictures as that approaches.
