From a seasoned muralist with expertise in digital, acrylic, and oil paint.

Hi! I’m Sharky!

I am a native Austinite, born and raised here in the music-loving Heart of Texas. I painted my first mural for a restaurant here back in 2010, and have never stopped painting no matter where I went. Now I’m back! My natural style can be described as fast and loose, with an aggressive energy. Though I practice my craft with digital art and canvas painting, my focus is murals! If you have a canvas, even one the size of a building, let me know!

An Easy Process

Discussion and planning

$0

Whether you would be happy with a pretty painting to fill your space, or you have a very specific and complex idea, I need to know! Book a meetup appointment below, and we can meet either over Zoom or Google Meet, or meet up at your favorite coffee shop or other public hangout to discuss the project.

The Mockup

$50

This is a small charge to cover the hours that go into creating mockups - I do this by hand since AI isn’t user-friendly in regards to specific placement and angle.) I want you to know exactly what it will look like before I begin on the piece.

This price may differ for especially large or complex projects, or be waived if unnecessary.

The Masterpiece

$ Half up front, half at the end.

I will do everything in my power to give you what you want, in a price that you like. I can always cut back on the less important details, and it is my philosophy to never overcharge. This Half Up Front policy is to cover cost of materials and bills while I begin.

Here is a glimpse of past projects:

  • A four by six foot painting of a still forest pond with dramatic foreground shadow, and a brightly lit background with the light source coming from behind a rock to the left. This is painted on cardboard.

    Temporary Peace

  • This is a picture of a horse head statue, which has been painted to look like a real horse.

    Necroprancy

  • This is a large painting with overgrown trees and brush that looms over a thin creek. In the background, a rocky spire has some vines growing up it's length. The background appears to be a vine-covered cliffside.

    The Natural

  • This is a black and white image of an angry, roaring lion.

    Defiant

  • A colorful and energetic painting of a parrot.

    Showoff

  • This is a black and white painting of a roaring lion.

    Rebuke

  • A mural painted on a fence that shows a moutain range on the left, a beach with a dramatic wave in the middle, and a swirling night sky with a milky way on the right.

    The Flow

  • This is the painting of a creekside. To the left of the image some ferns and a small, delicate tree that reaches over the smooth pebbles that peek out of the water. To the right, rocky cliffsides, and a waterfall in the background.

    Crystal Clear

  • The Mothership

  • This is a rough and fast painting of a dark ocean on the calm edge of a brewing storm.

    Zebras

  • This is a small, dramatic, and rough painting of a lone figure in a long hooded coat walking up a sand dune in an orange sky.
