The artist
About Joel
"Used to draw lowrider stickers from the 25 cent machine."Joel, on his H-Town Eldorado mural
Joel Salinas is a full time professional artist in Houston. His walls are loud and local: astronauts and the Space City, the Astros, Rockets and Texans, Houston skylines, lowriders and classic cars, painted big on black.
Restaurants trust him with store after store. Midnight Cravingz has him painting their locations from Sugar Land and The Woodlands to College Station and San Antonio.
How a wall happens
From a DM to the reveal
- Send the wall
DM Joel a photo of the space, the rough size and what you are picturing.
- Trade ideas
Themes, teams, logos, colors. Joel works with budgets.
- Paint on site
He paints in your space. When the room changes, he adapts. On one garage the floors were new, so "we had to scrap the old ideas and colors and make everything up on site."
- Step back
"You step back and see how different the wall looks."
"It's ok to start small as long as you start."Joel, on painting a mural of a business growing from its first day
Faith runs through his work and his bio: Proverbs 3:5-6.
