Painting on the wall

There's a new coffee and lunch spot very near to where I live. And it had a big white wall. Well, not anymore...

Before this place, Koozie, opened I contacted the owner to see if we could work together, as in selling my Stoffer + Blik postcards. The cards is something we're still working on, but there was something else I could do. This wall. I made a design and presented the idea. They liked it and so I could start researching for my biggest illustration yet.

It took some preparation, figuring out how I was going to get this sketch I made on the wall, with everything in place. And what materials should I use? I ended up buying a projector and a bunch of paint markers in two colors. Yesterday I set up everything at Koozie and drew the design on the wall. In pencil first, before tracing it with the paint markers. 

Two days later it's all finished and I'm pretty happy with it. Here are a couple of images of the process and of course the end result. Now everybody head over to Koozie for a cup of coffee and take a look at the real thing! 

Koozie is located in the Van der Takstraat, Noordereiland, Rotterdam.
