Photo Sunday – Murals

- In the past two weeks I highlighted the Gertrude’s Follies work and the artist behind it, Tom Hachtman. He and his wife, Joey Epstein, have been doing Trompe L’oeil murals in the area of the (New) Jersey Shore, where they live.

Since I’ve recently been showing Tom’s artwork, I thought it might be fun to show off some photos of the work he, Joey and two other women – Katie Mae and Christine Myshka. Tom’s caricature (Anime style) of the three women appears to the left. Joey on the left, Katie Mott center and Christine on the right.

As you can see, they put these murals up in the homes of local people who are looking to decorate their rooms.

    I am a big Gertrude Follies Fan and a Tom Hachtman devotee. The murals – theatrical backgrounds I’d say, they should be doing theatre sets – I especailly love Times Square mural…reminds me of some of Dufy’s work.
