All the muralists made amazing progress last night and today in spite of the heat. Apparently there are five judges and it will be “brushes down” at 10:00 am tomorrow. I wouldn’t want to be one of the judges. This is an amazing group of artists and choosing one would be torture.
People’s choice award voting will happen all day tomorrow at the ArtFest booth in front of the murals on the walls of Circus Circus. The last picture taken for each artist is shown by their names. Some are close to being finished; some will still change significantly.

@ivanjroque
Ivan is a prolific muralist focusing on contemporary metaphorical themes in nature. He uses an unusual form of grid which we decided to call a "doodle grid.” Grids tend to be mathematical and linear. Ivan’s grid is loose, uses symbols placed in a somewhat chaotic form on the wall, and as Ivan says, “It’s fun." The sketch is then transferred to wall using the grid.
