Brown JHS Continued


Another display of the steps of the mural Shawn created in the cafeteria in B. Mahlon Brown Junior High School, which was previously the home of a different scenery Shawn painted, as well as the entrance, nearly 6 years ago.

The nearly life-size bear comes to life as Shawn adds highlights and finishing touches.

The waterfall that the bear is standing in brought more color to the mural and displays a peaceful setting.

The artist signs his mural.

Brown Junior High School


This is the step-by-step process of the mural in the entrance of B. Mahlon Brown Junior High School that Shawn has been working on for the last few weeks. Nearly 6 years ago, Shawn did some artwork in this exact spot, but already the school has called for a change.

Danny Cooper's Chopper

Big Bear Choppers, out of Southern California, is a motorcycle company that thrives on making custom choppers. This stunning chopper was built, and catches the eye of many onlookers, but something was missing...A Shawn Ealy paintjob.


Danny Cooper brought this masterpiece to Shawn and asked him to work his own magic. In the beginning stages, the parts were prepared and painted silver- the base color for Shawn to work with.
Next, Shawn went to work with his airbrush, creating numerous different skulls, covering all of the pieces with a darker grey.


Then, Shawn laid out different tribal designs, and painted a transparent candy green over it all, causing the tribals and skulls to really stand out.

Chief AJ


Recently, Shawn had the opportunity to meet up with Chief AJ, who was holding the USA National BB Gun Championship in Tuscola, IL. People of all ages were able to come out and test their abilities. For some, maintaining perfect aim wasn't the problem, but rather enduring the heat and humidity. Shawn ventured out to test his own skills, and was able to hook 2nd place for a day, but no one could compare to the flawless shot of Chief AJ himself.


Chief AJ has his own collection of SED artwork. Leaving his own program, the Chief fled home to retrieve this gun, airbrushed by Shawn, so that he could have it autographed.
