Well, (in my mind) this wall was just begging for something big... I'd been wanting some kind of portal piece on it for a long time (first inspired by a German artist named 1010). Then, once Kari and I saw ChrisVanceArt's organic mural for the DM art fest (on the west side of downtown), we decided to commission him. We just told him we were looking for something portal-like but with his style... he mocked up a small piece, we loved it, and now he's just free-handing this big ol dude on our wall.
