Taco Boy
In late 2022, I was asked to design and paint this full-restaurant mural for Taco Boy at their first location in Asheville, NC.
Their new space is wide and expansive, and each seating area gives guests a different vantage point visually. I wanted the mural to feel like a gallery of conversing forms and vignettes that share the chemistry of the cuisine and the atmosphere. At the very least I wanted to give their patrons bounties of rich imagery they could dissect while enjoying a frosty marg :)
Major thank you to Karalee Fallert for trusting me with TB’s new space and Eric Pieper for bringing me on.
