Once that was finished, he proceeded to do the whole muralentirely free hand with spray paint. 'I have never done anything this bigbefore,' Duenas said.

Doing the artwork at such a great height required the use ofa lift to get him there, which caused a lot of movement while he painted. 'Thelift was moving and swaying around,' Duenas recalled.
