Chris Stain

Last night Bill and I embarked on a long journey of staining wooden walls with inner city imagery for an office being built in Manhattan. I wish I could give all my time to it but it’s being juggled between my kids schedule, teaching, school, homework and housework.

We are choosing the images to work with as we go, much like a DJ would choose the right records to play to go with the proceeding song. Since I have folders full of images it’s like digging through the crates to find the perfect record to keep people dancing. We are working with water based wood stain to apply the imagery which will all be clear coated at the end of the project. If all goes as planned I will post the progress regularly.

this image of the boy on a bike is a newer piece that I have been wanting to paint in a large scale so it worked out in my favor for this space.

Thanks for stopping by!
