[@maryhurren6938]

Wow amazing work! Good for you :) I also want to get into the mural business I've done small art and portraits but I feel murals calling me :) I live in Canada what would you suggest is a good paint for indoor murals and paint brand for outdoor? Thanks so much...keep living the dream!

[@mafia461]

@@maryhurren6938 I really hope you've had your answer by now. In any case, always lead free paint for indoors/outdoors Liquitex Soft Body Acrylics or Liquitex Heavy Body paints are good too. 🎨 🖌Kudos

[@davidcapuzzo]

Yes a video about how to not get ripped off would be great

[@momo-xh3bm]

Would you take a video explaining more how do you manage your Mural business and Proposal for a muralist to start and learn ? I believe it would be interesting and useful for many mural learner. Always love your wonderful sharing !love you. Ten Hun

[@KyoParasite]

please make more videos talking about stuff like this ^^ it's really interesting and extremely helpful!

[@TenHundred]

Awesome, that is good to know.

[@emanuelcastellanos1332]

and a video talking about how not to get screwed over. thanks in advance! @@TenHundred

[@gonethegoner3913]

Please make a video on how to price art/murals and how to not get screwed over. Love your art btw would love to meet you irl

[@TenHundred]

Thanks for the suggestion. I already have a video on "how to price murals/paintings" on my patreon. But I may try and touch on that in the future on KZbin as well.

[@gonethegoner3913]

@@TenHundred awsome. I reall enjoyed this video since im trying to get my own gig

[@mafia461]

A new old fan here! Is there a video on how to price murals outside of your patreon money making machine? Thank you in advance - Spartacus Maximus ✌🏻

[@tulw2728]

@@mafia461 Knowledge takes time. In business, time is money. An attorney charges for her/his experience with areas in corporate laws. Mechanics learn by going to a paid for class. Patreon is a polite way to EARN revenue from HER/His knowledge. So yeah.

[@lettienugent]

I DO, like this video and would to see the other 2 parts, if you decide to do them. You are a huge inspiration to me, and TODAY, I just ordered my 1st ipad PRO -- soo excited. Thanks for all of your content. I appreciate it.

[@Moonacle]

How was your experience with the ipad pro - after a few years you must be pretty good by now!

[@bettablue2660]

I’m an artist, and I’ve taken a lot of classes over the years (I’m 52). No instructors have ever taught this. Thank you so much! Any more video ideas on this would be very appropriated.

[@fleurdeb7803]

Same. 56. More like this, please. 💖

[@devonteevans9785]

Great Stuff!!! Thank you for this super helpful information Bro. keep Up The DOPE WORKS!!!!

[@TenHundred]

I have started working on the 2nd part to this. I’m hoping to put it out on Sunday Dec 9 2018 😁

I’ve been recently following the channel. I just wanted to say nice job. I’d like more videos on murals and others stuff. I’ll think of thinking up. If you come back to Japan.Let’s meet up.

[@mewarnaiindonesia]

Thanks for inspired

[@lorrenzograham4752]

I'm all the way in Jamaica, came across your work, and became an addict to your videos. Im a graphic artist who own a printing business, that supplies posters, signage, custom tshirts, car decals, etc. I wish i had ur talents to do murals. Awesome work, hope to meet u one day ten hun....

[@rainkatt]

All good advice, I've done murals for years, all over the country and Canada. I'm retired due to disabilities, but you are spot on, all good advice. I'm over on the Peninsula, next time I'm in Seattle I'll be watching for your work.

[@asworley1]

Getting ready to start my first large-scale mural solo...sifting through all your vids, gaining TONS of great advice from you, thanks for sharing and I also really appreciate your attention to PROFESSIONALISM. Thanks 10 Hundred! Peace.

[@Koffling]

How did it go? Can we see it? :)

[@awsiblingsoul7059]

Thank you for this content! I am working on my third mural and learning more each time. I'm really wanting to make this a career. Any free information is so appreciated

[@glendakrauss4535]

This was very nice to help one get started. It’s also nice to see other artists help one get going on their own without feeling insecure. Good job!👏

[@ariltonhiala5630]

Super... As an artist I strongly agreed with 10 Hun, those tips are really good to show how professional you are and most important catch: you really need to be real, good and confident with what you have for customers and people who appreciate art. One Love

[@thomasrainbow]

Very good vid and this coming from an experience muralist. One other little trick is to research new businesses that are in the processes of build out and opening soon in your city or nearest biggest city and email or just stop by. I have hit up many breweries, cannabis dispensaries, tech companies and fashion stores who generally do have a sizeable budget to put towards a new mural before they open. Number one thing is to have great art to show! So make art all the time and hone your craft!

[@Moonacle]

This is such an excellent business tip!

[@KatieTrainerMuralsMagicMore]

Awesome. i am a full time muralist too and have started videos over the last year. great angle on the focus! really awesome!

[@canival2006]

I found you literally yesterday, i live in China and I am constantly looking for inspiring artists, and you have become one of my favorite, thanks for the great advise, it is good stuff, I am still behind catching up watching your videos, but so far i enjoy not only your art style but your personality. Big kudos from the other side of the world. Looking forward to learn a lot from you, pick up your brain on art stuff that I am interesting in. Take care and looking forward to seeing much more of you here.

[@BK-hq7tn]

“Show up sober” muahaha that’s something you have to tell artists!!!!

[@swaranbains8326]

Only in the creative industry is this ever an issue 😭

[@leftysouthpawofdetttth7340]

👍👍😇

[@rainbomg]

Lol one of the few industries where this isn’t an indicator of skill level or quality, merely a tool of the trade. Murals though, ya gotta be sober bc scaffolding is a death trap (and if you’re in a public place _everyone_ will want to talk to you: “hey… you paintin a mural?” and other prescient queries) ((also, I’ve met the purveyors of most of my next murals while painting my previous murals))

[@Galleryknows]

Omg! You are amazing! I have a concept and I wanna paint a mural… I need to go small then big… I haven’t done one yet… I wanna do number 3!!! And just try and get a space…. I’m Inspired by this! Thanks for posting this!!

[@kevinbermudez710]

you shold make that video . its always good to show your fails and wins. shows your alive dude. mistakes sometimes kind of work out. but good to show we all make them and how ppl get over on others.

[@sindristardust9687]

Thank you! I just spent the past few weeks restoring a huge mural in Tahoe that I did about 10 years ago. I remembered how much I love doing that and am thinking I should do more, so these were very helpful tips. I love your work, so awesome! My sister lives in Seattle, so I will have to come try to check some of it out in person when I am up there next.

[@miguelmachuca1784]

My friend !! You are a gem for sharing your wisdom. I am from San Jose ca and I am an artist , and i am puzzled in how to get my mural opportunities going. I have done a few but your professionalism is fire and I am happy you shared. Much love and respect and you just gained another fan. Your art is crispy clean. Thank you !

[@TenHundred]

Thank you so much! I hope some of this info helps :)

[@rosemarieskillman4057]

Thank you so much for sharing the information that you do. This is my dream job and I'm working towards it right now. And all of this information is so helpful

[@CassandraHora]

Niles High School Class '02 right here. Glad someone made it out of the collection of small towns in Southwest Michigan. Art looks awesome.

i am a pro muralist since 2008 and i can't agri more than you! first time spot your work, really nice! ;)

[@mobiggun]

Appreciate you and your talent and taking the time to share your success and help fellow artist. I am doing a Mural on the side of a house. I am excited about it. Customer is paying me and for the product.

[@feraltuft]

Pleeeeasse make a how to be a mural artist series 😍 it’s so hard to get into the art game and it would be so helpful for fresh baby artists such as myself haha I didnt check how old this video is so if you’ve already done that, THANK YOU!

[@youlikeanh]

Showing up on time, keeping your promises, and having the best customer service where you ask questions and LISTEN.... that is better than 90% of most creative people :)

[@michaelmcfadden701]

This video is so dope, I'm in your class right now and I'm also from Michigan. That's cool, thanks for making these kinds of videos!

[@stephaniemitchell8509]

I'm never going to be a muralist (don't possess the talent), but I appreciate so much that you put such a detailed and informative how-to video online for those that possess the talent and drive enough to create these wondrous works of art around the world. I live in a fairly small capital city (Lincoln, NE), and any murals here are small and rare, but when I do see them they take my breath away. I always stop to gaze at their bold, larger than life beauty, and it's a level of attention the small works of art in museums have never been able to hold over me.

[@teresal.anguiano1947]

Thank you...super inspiring... great example of honest work!!!!

[@CHAMBVRS]

I've been a graphic designer for 10 years and a residential painter for about 5 but have plans to combine the 2 to make some unique murals. this was dopeee

[@TenHundred]

[@MaxxCto3]

I really appreciate how in depth you get. Logged in so I could like and subscribe.

[@jojocaitlin8508]

I just wanna say I really appreciate you being so open and helpful to new/struggling artists. I'm still young at 18 but growing up it was common place to contact an artist for help and tips or just general questions on where they got supplies and so many times they'd ignore you or turn you away under the excuse that they don't share their secrets. As a kid it was kinda disheartening. It's nice to get some true, well intentioned advice 💟

[@suryastephen5174]

thank you so much for sharing your experience.. it means a lot 😁👍👍👍 I'm from Indonesia. back then, before the pandemic, I got several mural jobs in a month. but after the pandemic, it's quite hard to find mural jobs and look for clients. i will do your suggestions and let's hope for new projects more to come..

[@Buflo_Red]

This is extremely helpful and inciteful... videos like this one that goes in depth with the mural proposal process and just basic tips at achieving higher levels of proffesionalism

This video has helped me out in believing in what I do a little more. And the steps to take to be even greater. Thanks for sharing such imperative information. You're work is AWESOME.

[@matthewriegner5180]

Excellent!!!! Make more like this, as it not only helps other artists, but also those looking for murals to understand what to look for.

[@TenHundred]

Nice, I didn't think of it like that, but I guess clients could watch it too.

[@melanieatesalp1530]

Thank you so much!!! I figured alot of this out through years of trial and error, I really appreciate you spelling it out for other artists. What a great resource. I will be showing this at my university. Hope to see your work in person one day!

[@theroyalgypsydiaries4658]

Excellent advise, video and art! Thank you!

yes make videos on how not to get screwed, what to do when you get the job, how to organize your time and pieces, and HOW TO PRICE YOUR WORK AND TIME. Also tips on how to convince people about your pieces and sketches etc.

[@godsbackhand8098]

This was so good and so helpful. I’m out of Spokane and have been a muralist for 5 years now and learned a lot from your positive attitude. I have a ton of respect for all the effort you put into everything you do 💪🏽🙏🏽 good stuff

[@ohmjustsketch]

Thank you so much for sharing this info, I have started my first mural without any recommendation like your tips. It's so blur and tough. Now young artists have a lot of info to start.

Mahalo so much! Just found you and subbed. Your art is amazing...so is your channel! I start my first mural this month so trying to be like a sponge right now...been tattooing for almost 30 years and thought this would be an awesome 2nd income, so mahalo again and much aloha for all your advice and videos! 🤗🌺🙌❤️🙏❣️

' if you are watching my videos probbly u are artist' - nope. i watch your videos more like satisfaction. I like to see you working into crazy nice peace of art. in general i love to see people surfing smth they love doing and do it perfectly. and no i cant really paint.. or sing, play any kind of music instrument. i just like your content... keep doing what you doing man! also i found you by fiverr video.. was checcking how people compleating fiverr orrders on caricatures mostly.

[@Mary-xp6le]

This inspired the heck out of me... time to get going!!

[@The.now.matters]

Thanks Tens, I was a copywriter, but quit because I didn't love it and now I linked up with my homie so that we can push your dreams to be professional mural artist and I think the best step is to follow each and every single step that you have on your playlist because first off I got my first client which is a kindergarten teacher and I think I'm going to work with kindergarten teachers until we can generate enough income to move out into a very big city like you said is this a good approach?

[@Profets]

dope video bro, super informative and helpful. Tip 5 is on the money man, keepin it straight and professional is important asf and goes a long way. 👌

God bless you for the proposal script you shared! That will be helping me a whole lot!

[@dianalondono5599]

I think the easiest is to actually get your first job for a mural. I always dreamed on painting murals, then I won a design competition for a mural and that got me into more jobs! that first person who believed in me was the first stone, but it gave me also the backup for saying "hey I know how to do this and now I can offer something that fits your needs" also the "get good advise", no one is gonna hire you for that kind of big job if your designs aren't good.

[@ArtHeatherArt]

Would love to see the other videos you would make about how to be a mural artist! Thanks so much for sharing what you’ve learned.

[@elbrooks]

This is great info. I've been approached to do murals and turned them down because the scale kind of overwhelms me and how to properly handle the business side is a mystery to. Thanks for sharing!

[@kinganap9442]

I want to agree with the “do your first mural by all means Necessary” I got well actually my second paid mural (in November) and I did it for next to nothing for the time I spent on it and not to mention the discount I got on the paint that I passed down to them and since as you mentioned I did the best job I could and since then I already got 3 more jobs since then and I have 2 more jobs that are in the possibility stage

[@Moonacle]

Yeah I bought some large plywood sheets and made a ghetto false wall in my parents yard and started practicing

[@dseaborn2995]

Great video! Well presented and well done! Totally enjoyed seeing your creativity and talent. Came across your video actually looking for DIY fence-painting mural videos. I'm not an artist but have a freelance biz, and these tips apply all across the board. Great job!

[@shayleo90s]

Dudey, a video on how to start with nothing in a small town, I've kinda been doing murals since high school, but being the crazy unstable artist I am, always getting creative block with the demands of the corporate world etc and economy in my country, I've amount to like 3 Murals since my high school, now 26, the first one got discarded, the second one didn't get documented as well and the 3rd one happened by chance, just being in the right place at the time... With the coolest, most chill people who had that trust and open mindedness when it comes to art....and expressiveness...

[@kenan12341]

You're awesome Ten Hun! Keep doing you man. Your videos are extremely helpful for up and coming artists, like myself. Stay positive and keep on painting!

PS Love how real you are in front of the camera. Really appreciate that!

[@ME-qq3gr]

Thanks for the advice. I would say cities are good for some people but not all. The city I live is flooded with people wanting to do murals and some people with big reputations, which means many places in the city expect you to work for free if you are not one of them (not even covering the cost of paint). If you find the right people/place in smaller towns a lot of them are keen to get a mural that makes them stand out as part of the "youth" or "alternative" culture and there isn't a reverse bidding war going on for who will do it cheapest.

[@johamyoyo]

Bro I literally screenshoted your introductive mural project pdf. I’d like to hear more about your first project.
