The Arcane Ensconced by artmouse

Recently I went back to my high school to work on the mural i had started with a few of my friends my senior year (I am now a senior in college - yes, i've been working on it for a while -_-).
We were originally five strong, but have since dwindled down to two. Needless to say, I am determined to finish.

Vivian, Patricia, Danny, Me (with beret), Mary circa 2005
I would provide a better picture, but the only thing is, it's huge. It doesn't really fit into any one picture; so here are some other views:

(you'll just have to believe me that it also extends six feet further to the left as well)
and here is my handiwork for this task:


in addition to my shameless SFØ plug (probably a secret message to most of the high school population) my secondary message is of course encoded in the address of the building '551,' and the rest of that side of the street is numbered '553,' '555,' and so on. I'm sure all of you can figure that one out, but it's definitely SUPER secret to everyone who views this mural everyday in between classes.
Like I said it still needs a lot of work and love, and thankfully my painting skills have pretty much improved exponentially so now i can finish something like this in less than an hour (see incomplete sailboats in first picture)

now concludes my modest offerings for this task.
