AG Mechanical Mural pt.2 by Justin Beamish in Calgary

Hello, my name is Justin. I am a local muralist and visual artist from Edmonton, AB. I am currently studying at Alberta University of the Arts, working towards a Bachelor degree in Fine Arts, with a major in painting. I concentrate a majority of my art and designs around the ideas of hope and unity. Most of my painting style consists of graffiti lettering, cartoon characters and flowers with squiggles & cross-hatched rendering. With colorful palettes and uplifting subject matter my goal is to relate to others and make people smile. I have been doing murals for 4+ years, and it has become a large (pun intended) part of my practice as an artist. Over these years, I have become confident in the mural-making process: planning and communicating with clients, designing and painting large scale and using the correct paint and tools to create a finished, quality piece. For a season I was employed at a graphics and sign shop, I have gained skills in graphic design, production and packaging, as well as decaling signs and vehicles with vinyl. I have learned the basics of Adobe Illustrator, some photoshop, and adobe stock for graphic design and prepping for printing.
