Mural Portfolio

Artist / Illustrator: John Potter - Escape Key Graphics

My introduction to mural painting began early, when I won a holiday art contest at the age of six to paint a Christmas storefront window. It set the foundation for a lifelong interest in large scale artwork and public facing visual design. Since then, mural painting has become an important part of my creative practice and professional portfolio.

My mural work has been commissioned for both residential and commercial properties, spanning interior and exterior environments. Each project is approached with careful consideration of the space, the audience, and the long term purpose of the artwork. Whether the goal is to enhance a private home, activate a business interior, or create a visual landmark in a public setting, my focus remains on producing murals that are thoughtful, durable, and visually engaging.

I work primarily as a traditional mural artist, relying on brushes and time tested painting techniques rather than a graffiti based approach. This background in fine art and illustration allows for a high level of control, detail, and craftsmanship. While I continue to explore newer tools and methods as they become relevant, my work remains grounded in classical painting practices.

All of my murals (so far) are executed in acrylic paint, which offers flexibility and longevity. For interior murals, acrylic allows the surface to be repainted in the future if the space changes ownership or purpose. For exterior projects, I now offer the option of a anti graffiti coatings that van provide protection from ultraviolet exposure and vandalism. This added layer increases durability and permanence, making it well suited for murals intended as long term visual assets.

I want to be clear that I do not copy the work of other artists. While I may be open to creating pieces inspired by another artist’s general style, that is the extent of it. I will not replicate or swap out individual elements from someone else’s work and present it as original. If you are interested in the work of another artist, I’m happy to help connect you with them. This policy applies to all of my projects, though it most often comes up in the context of murals.

Copying art is unethical at best and at worst can be considered plagiarism and a violation of copyright law.
