Every mural starts with an image. The quality of that image determines everything. I've put together a set of curated resources to give you the best possible starting point, from freely browsable libraries to licensed photography and original hand-drawn artwork. Once you've found the right image, I take it from there.
From freely browsable libraries to one-of-a-kind hand-drawn commissions. Pick the route that fits the project, the brief and the budget.

Every line, every detail, hand-drawn in ink. Carl Knapper of The Write Ink is a traditional mural artist whose commissions span commercial offices, hospitality venues, schools and private homes.
