Colin Packard started Long Neck Painting in earnest in 2022. As an independent artist making custom signs, murals, and designs in the Hudson Valley, his process is primarily analog, drawing and iterating with pencils and brushes from initial sketches to final painted works. He creates indoor and outdoor murals, signs of all types, original illustrations and custom designs for any project or context. He’s interested in working with his hands and keeps his time in front of a computer to a minimum. He creates among other artists, his friends and neighbors, and community at large, aiming to make thoughtful, moving environments to inhabit every day.
