A couple years ago Bramblitt tried his first mural on a wall instead of canvas; enjoying the challenge.

Now on his third and largest, the mural on Bishop Highline is taking his artwork high than ever before.

In June, Bishop Highline held an event to honor John Bramblitt. During the event, Bishop Highline also presented the Guide Dogs of Texas with a $5,000 donation.

Bramblitt is the author of an award-winning book called "Shouting in the Dark", is the subject of award-winning documentariesand has appeared on several TV Channels, such as ABC, BBC, Discovery Channel.

His works of art have sold in more than 120 countries.
