[@ThuHoang-by1yy]

Love your vibrant happy mural box, bringing summer camping vibes all year long to the city. We all want to be those bears relaxing with a good book, enjoying the picnic and watching adorable fishes happily swimming down the stream. You are wonderful artist and a great story teller. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@art_krisis]

Omg, I'm from the Philly area too and when you got to the day it rained, stopped, rained, I was like I REMEMBER THIS EXACT DAY LMAO because my little brother's graduation was this day and we had no idea if it was gonna reschedule or not due to the weather! Hearing you go "what the fuck?" to the hail made me laugh because girl same!!!! lol The electrical box came out so beautifully!! I'll have to go visit it in person one day :D

[@_janetta]

This is so cool!!!!! I love seeing painted electrical boxes around my neighborhood, this is such a cool opportunity!! And it turned out so adorable!! How did you deal with paint drying before rain/drying the box after it rains to keep painting?

[@quitagulley6512]

It is sooooo Cute! I am glad you overcome your fear!!!!!!

[@JacklynKaye]

So cute! You did a great job. I did the same thing when I painted a mural on my dog house, I thought it would take a day. It ended up taking me over a week haha! I ended up having to split it into 2 videos cause I was so slow 😅 But watching this makes me want to do it again!

[@junejewell]

I have to paint a city trash can next month so this is perfect timing. 😊

[@augustatkinsonillustration5341]

Remakable mural

[@ahlisevela]

it turned out incredible !! how did you go about getting this gig ?? i am trying to get more murals under my belt, too &this looks so fun !! great job, Katie !! ✨

[@javabeanstudio]

But like, were you commissioned to do it? Did you just ask the city if you could do one? How did this come about? It looks great!! Hope it gets a clear coat or anti-graffiti coating maybe?

[@KatieMai]

it was commissioned by the neighborhood association and they reached out to me! at the end they provided me with a clear graffiti coat :)

[@momo-xh3bm]

Wow, where did you find this painting GIG? And how much do you charge for this?😮 Always feel mysterious of how muralist run through it.😮

[@aleMARG]

I just want to know, but someone (like a certified institution) gave u green light to do the mural? cuz that boxes have some especial features like, the base paint it's to protect the internal electrical system, and the box should have some numbers outside, it's important to maintain that for safety purposes for the people who go to do some type of maintenance. No hate, I'm just curious.

[@KatieMai]

yes, i was commissioned by my neighborhood association and we needed approval from the city of philadelphia.

[@isabelledebionne]

You did an awesome job!😍 Did you not sign your name on the box?

[@drawninthefog]

That looks AMAZING! Did you use emulsion paints and then seal them?

[@KatieMai]

i used 100% acrylic outdoor paint and sealed it with an anti-graffiti coat!

[@drawninthefog]

@@KatieMai oh great, thank you. I didn't realise you can get outdoor acrylic paint. I'm hoping to do a mural on our garden fence so I'll have a look for some

[@8randomprettysecret8]

That’s cool you get to paint a mural! Do you have to sign up and register to paint for murals?

[@KatieMai]

this was with the neighborhood association and they reached out to me!

[@lethyguaimare]

You should wear a hat and a long sleeve cotton shirt to protect yourself from the sun

[@KatieMai]

i wish i did 🫠 i got a wicked sunburn

[@Christina24life]

How many people asked what you were doing and tried to call the cops on you?
