Since his first mural “Big Bison” back in 2015, Jordan Dean has continued to paint some very eyecatching murals all over town. Dean is the Creative Director for Warehouse 21, and sees himself as a designer, illustrator, and artist. With each mural, Dean continues to learn new techniques and ways to improve as an artist. He has transitioned from using rollers and brushes to preferring to use spray paint.

One of Dean’s favorite murals is ‘The Kraken’ located on the corner of Central Avenue and E. 20th Street. “I like it because it’s fun,” Dean said. It's a beautiful and vibrant piece of art showcasing an underwater ocean scene with a purple and orange Kraken as the focal point. Stunning fish, and a swimming cowgirl add to the delight of this larger-than-life piece of art. It took Dean just six days to complete.

Dean's “Howdy From Cheyenne Wyoming” mural (featured on the cover) is a great example of how murals attract tourists. On his way to and from work he enjoys watching people pose in front of this mural to take keepsake pictures. When describing his murals “I wanted them to be something that a lot of Cheyenne people could be proud of.”

“Voices of Spirit” won 1st Place for the Paint Slingers' Community Choice Award in 2021. This stunning mural is a collective effort of Aiko Szymczak and Corniie Bee Bop, known as Koco Collab out of Denver, CO. “This is about our inborn connection we inherit from the stars and pass on to one another through our daily lives, and relationships. In Native American culture the braid tied together represents the spiritual connection usually between man and wife but here we depicted it with two women, the basket weavers of the universe and the pillars of creation” stated Koco Collab.
