“The fiercest robin-sized bird in the animal kingdom”
This mural was so special. As a Ball State grad, David Letterman is someone I’ve always been interested in. I went to class in a building he built. When a client reached out asking if I could paint a mural in his childhood home, how could I ever say no? His old home is now an Airbnb in Indianapolis, with my artwork covering one of the basement walls!
“The fiercest robin-sized bird in the animal kingdom” is something David Letterman used to say when he was at Ball State.
Cardinals painted flying throughout the mural
Frog Baby Fountain statue from campus, Ball State flag, and of course, a Ball Jar

In Broad Ripple, where the home is located, there are flowers painted all over the town. To tie into that theme, I painted Cherry Blossoms throughout the mural, reminding me of the trees on BSU’s campus.
