While the public has not had the opportunity to see them yet, he recently finished a number of pieces inside the new Hayward Field Stadium project at the University of Oregon, including a mural of Steve Prefontaine.
In 2016, he entered a City of Springfield caulk art contest with a "Simpsons"-themed work and ended up winning. That began a passion that, as time allows, has resulted in more than 30 "Simpsons"-inspired characters or murals on buildings across Lane County.
Before the pandemic, he was looking for a new spot to paint a mural and reached out to followers on social media. Josh Mathews, a fan of both Gardner and "The Simpsons," offered his family’s back fence in Springfield.
