WSU Delta Chi Mural Paintings

While I attended Washington State University, I joined a fraternity mostly because my brother was in it but ended up enjoying it in the end. One of my biggest personal accomplishments to this day are these series of wall murals as well as the two bench paintings. These were the very first pieces of artwork I created that made me believe that being a Graphic Artist is what I want to do with my life. 
These first two paintings are actually across the hall from each other so the "triangle X" connects throughout the entire corridor. Took about a month to complete. These were the last of the paintings I did for the fraternity.
This is the second painting I did in one of the bathrooms next to our downstairs "social" room. Unfortunately, a week after I finished this one, it was absolutely demolished at one of the events we hosted. At least I got a picture of it. All of the lettering is hand painted. 
This painting below is the very first wall mural I painted in my entire life. When I was a pledge the first semester at WSU, one of my tasks was to make this bathroom look pretty by painting it so i figured, "why not paint something cool?" I had no idea how to paint at this point in my life but everyone starts somewhere.
These next two images below are two rather large benches that were donated to our fraternity by another sorority on campus. Sad to say that those benches were stolen out of our lawn somehow. I enjoyed the challenge though.
