Have you done one of these? They look pretty good on the screen, and I would consider getting one and doing it for my parents' Buckeye room...however neither my wife or I...or anyone in my family really...have any artistic talent :)

I have done one like it. The Ohio State murals aren't available yet. I painted the Construction theme in my son's bedroom. It was really easy. Everything is in the kit (brushes, dropcloth and paint). You get the artwork already done to size - you transfer it on the wall and fill in the drawing with paint. Its just like paint by number. They have a video tutorial on their site.

You lied, you said it was easy!

I can't even draw a stick figure to save my life, let alone something as complictaed as paint by numbers.

I've seen murals done by putting an image on the wall with an overhead projector and tracing over it. Might be fun to recreate some of the wallpapers people make around here that way. Big project... but very unique.

I have seen that done too. I turns out real cool.

Doing those types of murals requires an overhead projector. This doesn't, it utilizes a transfer sheet (kind of like the backside of a check). All you have to do is draw directly on top of the printed line and it puts the artwork on the wall for you. The mural I painted only took 3 hours and it looked to be alot more complicated than the OSU murals...

Cool... I like the one with the large helmet. If I had a kid, I'd put that on his wall and let him earn the buckeye stickers over time. That'd be a neat reward. :)

That's a great idea. I'd be all over that if I was a kid. Hell, my wife could probably do it now and motivate me to do stuff....
