Muralist Lucas Thornton Tells How It’s Done!

Lucas Thornton was our Featured Speaker at Friday’s meeting. He has painted many murals that grace Humboldt County, and he shared his process – from creating a design and then transfering it from a relatively small piece of paper to the wall of a building. In the case of the Arcata Bay Crossing Building on Samoa Boulevard, the wall was very large indeed!
