Catching up......
Welcome to the new Hi-Fi Murals web page and online portfolio for Milan Basic.
Content is being added regularly, particularly on the blog, so check back for new photos of new and old projects.
The photo up top is a connecto of the Groop Gallery mural in Prince George, BC. This mural is among my personal favorites of my own work in PG. It is an ongoing work in progress I have been dabbling with throughout the summers of 2011 and 2012. I do have more plans for it in the spring of 2013 and that will be posted at that time.
While living in PG I started doing courtroom drawings for The PG Citizen Newspaper for just over the last two years now. This was sparked by my massive interest in figure drawing. To the left is a drawing done in conte' and pencil crayon on brown paper, it's a portrait of my kids using a photo reference.
Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions.

Summer 2012
I painted a new mural this summer for the Canada Games folks situated on the Post Office building downtown Prince George. In addition to the mural, I painted the building red as well. Here is the stop motion video of the painting of this mural as well as others soon to come.
Other video links include the painting of the Cordova & Main mural in Vancouver in the Summer of 2010 and a brief time lapse video of the painting of the wall at Chinook Yoga as well.
As for recent fine art pieces, these resin pours are some of the latest
work Milan Basic has been producing. What were originally destined
to be maquettes for some public art proposals Milan was working on,
ended up on the walls of the Groop Gallery. These pieces are poured
using polyester casting resin, while layering contains gold leaf, glazes, various paints and occasionally you may see small found objects.
These photos show the resin panel lit with a wall sconce which
picks up the detail quite nicely. At home I keep a piece in the window
as the sunlight makes magic out of these pieces!

Beatty Street Mural Videos
Three summers have passed since the painting of the Beatty Street Mural and I've had requests for the links to the videos made by StreetBox Productions out of Venice, Italy as they documented the painting of the entire block long mural using time lapse, tutorials and creative visual story telling. Here are the links to four of the nine videos.
