Most of the mural

She designed this mural for Chris and Amy's new house based on a TerraServer satellite photo of the neighborhood. Here she's adding trees (the white circles). I helped paint some of it (mostly the streets and some of the trees after this was taken). I wrote a blog post with some more details about the making of the mural if you're interested.

Looks like there have been much work with that wall. Interesting idea to make that kind of painting based on satellite photos.

Yeah! We all worked on it for some hours and Lindsay worked on it a ton. I think it's a great idea.

Lindsay worked hard on this for weeks, first hand tracing the satellite photo with geometrical shapes for houses, trees and streets, then printing a slide and projecting it on the wall to guide the painting.

Painting the circles was easier than painting the rectangles - it's the corners that are hard to get.

Wow, I want one. I'd have to pay someone to do this as well, because I don't know if I'd have the patience for it all.

I love it! I want one of my walls painted just like that. Maybe in shades of green though.

I hope you upload a photo of the finished mural! The 'you are here' type of marking? Excellent idea, I anticipate these will crop up all over the place.

techakke, that's the funniest comment I've ever read.
On another note, what a cool idea. I love the north/south distinction over where one is visualising the map. Great stuff!
