      Murals of Ventura

      Evan Mendel, a local artist, represents his style through his mural, “Stamp Co.” on Main Street. Mendel said, "I do this full time, and it can be quite a struggle, but if it’s your dream it will be worth it in the end. 
I’m proud of the fact that it was my first mural, and I went for it, without being sure that I could do it. Having faith in yourself and taking a chance is what will get you to that next level.” This mural was his first and took him about five days to complete, he said, “I’ve been making art my whole life, so I just kept following that path and just went wherever it took me.” Photo by: Brody Daw
