This past summer, I was chosen out of over 50 artists to complete a mural for the Village of Oak Park!
It was a lot of hard work but the experience was well worth the effort. Here are process photos, ending in the final product.
The Village of Oak Park also ran a short spot about the mural process through their cable access television channel, which can be viewed on youtube here: http://youtu.be/As_UahK4WvE?hd=1

Truth, happiness and laughter, indeed. And its adaptation to the setting makes it even better.
