Phoenix Suns Mural
I was contacted by my brother Faust about creating a mural for the Phoenix Suns and after discussing what we really wanted to do I began to look for a good wall to create this monster mural. It didn’t take long before I remembered “Just Blaze” ; a local smoke shop that had a large black wall and I decided to reach out. The owner didn’t hesitate to give us the green light since he has worked with our team before on art projects so on the 4th of July, Faust and I got to work. We knew we wanted Booker and CP3 to be the main focus points of this mural but the background and logo ideas changed every day as we progressed more and more. We were using our own time, and money to get this project done and after the first day we realized our scaffolds were not going to be enough to reach the very top of the building. The owner of Just Blaze realized we were in a predicament and offered to rent us a lift and give us some paint to keep the project going without stress and it really made it easy to put 100 percent in to this giant production.
After that first day people started to realize something cool was happening in their city and the crowds began to start coming out. A few of the news stations came out to interview us and that was really the beginning of the action we saw every day while on this project. The complete project took us five days starting at six in the morning and usually slowed down around noon due to the heat. We pushed thru it the best we could and tried not to think of how hot it was outside. People started to help us in different ways like “Estero Beach Tacos” brought us a giant cooler filled with his special Cucumber water, our friend Franko came by with a swamp cooler and food every morning, and “Snoh Ice Shavery” came out with some drinks too.
Over all we are both really happy with how the city has been coming together to see the mural and support the Suns as they battle the Bucks in the championship this season. I know the Suns are going to win it and I hope this mural brings more smiles to people for months to come. The mural is set to come down around November but we will see what the reaction of the city does for it. You guys might encourage Just Blaze to keep it up longer.
Thank you to everyone who has shared the content on social media and remember to support us by tagging us or buying something from the webstore. We will keep painting cool murals for as long as we see possible. -Spawk
