Commissioning a mural in Kobe, Japan works best as a real project: a clear design phase, a scoped wall, and a professional process from first sketch to final coat. Corey Barksdale is an Atlanta-based muralist and fine artist who takes on international mural, live-painting, and public art commissions, including projects in and around Kobe.

Kobe's harbor district has embraced murals and public art as part of its ongoing redevelopment since the 1995 earthquake.
What working with Corey Barksdale looks like
Every project starts with a conversation about the wall, the site, and what the mural needs to do — tell a story, anchor a brand, activate a community space, or mark an event. From there, design concepts, a clear timeline, and a straightforward scope come before any paint goes up, so there are no surprises for you or your Kobe location.
