History[edit]
The first largest painted mural stamp was painted in Pontiac, Illinois on a white mounted lattice based 8’ X 24’ billboard next to the Vermilion River. It is located off the Historic Route 66 in downtown Pontiac, featuring the river with the Swinging Bridges and flour mill along side of it.
This was a Walldog project hosted by sign painter Bill Diaz and family. Vargas to be one of the project leaders at this meet. Walldogs are sign painters/artists who have been painting signs and murals of advertisements on walls throughout the country on sides of buildings, barns, or anywhere paint will stick.
In October 2013 Vargas was approached by Donavan G. Byrn of Creative Fresno and asked if he would be interested in painting a new mural in the downtown area, and was formally invited by Kate Borders of the Downtown Fresno Partnership to create a mural on the side of The Business Journal located in downtown Fresno. Vargas created a sketch for another painted mural stamp that would be even larger than the one in Pontiac, IL.
