Photo Sunday Murals
- I recently received this email from my friend, Tom Hachtman (the cartoonist who draws Gertrude’s Follies, a strip I’ve featured):
Joey has taken over Three Designing Women. She employs two women and me.
“Three Designing Women. Who’s this guy?”
“Oh, that’s my husband Tom.”
I do get tired of hearing this.
This mural painting is a phenomena.
Joey just lined up some work in Florida. If I can find Joey’s folders, I will try to e-mail some recent work to you.
love,t
Joey, of course, is Tom’s wife. I’ve featured their mural work before, but thought it time for an update. Here are the photos sent me. The comments are Tom’s descriptions.

________These are bedrooms in Highland Park, NJ.
________They wanted the bed to look like a fort in the forest.
________The aquarium room
________Joey wanted the aquarium room to feel like you were inside a fish tank –
________I painted this boy on the ceiling feeding his fish.
________Sometimes I think the details are so beautiful – Chris painted these birds.
Take a look at the Three Designing Women site.

There used to be a nifty little show on the Life channel called “Weird Homes” that originated out of Vancouver but covered places throughout both Canada and the USA. I remember one segment that featured an artist who had painted all of his rooms much like this and it sure was creative and fun, as are these murals. I really like the whimsy of that aquarium room, especially. It’s amazing how a clever mural can really make one feel like they’re in a completely different environment. Kudos to “Three Designing Women”!

A bit of paint changes everything. Thanks for sharing these amazing images (and for showcasing New Jersey talent)!
