Good morning!
We have another Arts Commission mural project that is currently proposed for a building on NE Sunset Blvd. Should I send this one to Angelea for review as well?

Good Morning Jessie,
Finally some great news! Kaitlin and I have come to an agreement on the mural for their alley's wall. Attached below is what I sent over.
Now that the hard part is done, I think it's just a matter of waiting for the weather to be on our side.
I drafted this mock-up with the idea of it spanning the entire width of the building. Due to time, I was thinking of wheatpasting the cutout dictionary definitions and painting the portraits
of the athletes.
Upon completion, I would then seal the entire wall with a matte protective finish - this will extend the lifespan of the wheatpaste as well as allow for any sort of graffiti to be buffed
off with out any sort of damage to the mural beneath.
Let me know your thoughts, I'm so excited!
Very Best,
Alexander
