Shanghaied!

Photo of me painting part of a mural along the river in Shanghai.

So I'm walking down Zhongshan Dong Er Lu and this guy approaches and asks if I'd like to paint a mural. Being asked to paint a wall mural by a random stranger is not something that happens to me every day, though maybe it's a common thing in China. I don't know. This was my first visit. Of course, I said yes. I was the first person they'd asked and it was just a random coincidence that I was actually a professional illustrator.  Their plan was to have artists and designers from the Shanghai Design Expo come work on the wall when the expo was finished.
