Epic Art

Called "Epic Art" and created by Native Sun Productions, and Giant Impressions, this set of murals depicts scenes from the 1836 Battle of San Jacinto, the decisive battle of the Texas revolution. With each mural measuring 40 feet by 140 feet, the key characters portrayed can be seen from more than a mile away!

The objective of epic art is to turn large surfaces into public art, particularly in industrial or blighted areas. Native Sun Founder, Gary Foreman, refers to the environments he creates as museums without walls. To date, four tanks have been wrapped; 12 more are planned.

When Foreman discovered that it was a 3M vinyl that wrapped the 53-foot Lewis and Clark exhibit truck for the National Park Service, he traced the source of the graphics back to Giant Impressions of San Jose, Calif. "What struck me about the material was how well it held up under extreme weather conditions . . . the brilliance and clarity of the images never relented to the elements," said Foreman. "I remember saying to myself, "Thats exactly what I need for Epic Art.""

We shot everything with a 39 mpixel Hasselblad. Unbelieveable resolution whether your right on top of it, or a half mile away.
