In order to help out the Sarasota Boxing club, which was established in the early 1980's, I donated my time and effort to creating a mural on the blank facades of the club's new home. My aim was to help bring more public awareness to the boxing club, which has been an important community presence in the lives of countless Sarasota residents since it's founding.
Many hours were spent, day and night, working with a single ladder, and a peak C-5 detailing airbrush. With the help of a friend on geometrical layout, and the support of members of the boxing club, the mural was, primarily, a solo undertaking with regards to the art making process.
The mural was created in black and white due to the fact that a company that pledged to donate paint for the project did not follow through with the materials. With few resources for multi-spectrum paint, the project took on a retro look.
Special thanks to coach Harold Wilen, President of the Sarasota Boxing Club, and everyone at the club for making this project possible, as well as all the individuals who helped along the way!
