By Jeff Pilkington & Chris M. Monaghan

Jeff Pilkington uses many different mediums. As a street painter, I use soft pastels or Tempera paint.  When doing murals, I like to use acrylics and spray paint. I also love oil painting portraits, but working in a single medium restricts my artistic process. Each idea manifests in its style.

Over the years, I have always loved drawing and creating. But what got my fire burning was doing chalk festivals. The first one I did was so much fun and exciting. I also recently discovered painting advertisements on storefront windows. Then the next thing I found was painting Murals. I am very passionate about anything I can paint or draw.

Chris M. Monaghan is a professional artist based out of Florida. His work has been displayed at events, in books, on buildings and on television across the country. 

He enjoys street painting, wall murals, paintings, illustrations and more. Clients include the Toronto Blue Jays, Clearwater Marine Aquarium, Arizona State University, Farm Bureau, The Robby Steinhardt Foundation, The University of Michigan, Whirlpool Corporation and others.  

Chris founded the Sidewalk Shenanigans homeschool art program which explores the history of art and encourages students to use creativity as a problem solving tool. He is also the creator of a featured NFT project called "Ill Tempered Iguanas" through the OpenSea.io platform on the Ethereum network.
