This is Dinstuhl's Fine Candies on Pleasant View.
We have been painting these windows seasonally for the past year or two.
this is the very first one for Spring 2005 -
Yesterday I painted the fall scene for the second time.
It is the most fun to paint this mural - and the people at Dinstuhl's give me free candy while I'm working -
I feel this store is a good match for the style of painting I do for my gallery work - The colors are always fun -
like I'm cartooning in a way. The area is filled with car dealerships -an overdeveloped dreary generic feeling -
I feel that this mural helps the area aesthetically, especially the more recent ones

Sincerely
Alex Harrison





This is my first mural -
it's in Pappy's Oyster Bar - 2203 Whitten Rd. - Memphis,TN

I believe this one is about 23' x 5'
It took me 60 hrs to paint,
I could hear the roar of motorcycles from the Harley Davidson shop next door the entire time -
I was working on this the night the United States bombed Iraq, I remember being petrified.
SIncerely,

ALex Harrison




I did these two wall paintings of NBA players in a private residence here in Memphis.
The whole thing took me about 20 hours.
Mike Miller of the Memphis Grizzlies
and Dwayne Wade of the Miami Heat.
I told the client that I would change the players if their son changed his mind.
The family had an amazing wire fox terrier that hung out with me and watched me paint.

Sincerely,
Alex harrison
