Location USA

Victor Ving and Lisa Beggs know what it means to be uncomfortable. They have been living out of an RV since 2015 when they departed from their then city of residence, New York. The years proceeding have seen them travel through their beloved mainland the United States and beyond, on what is possibly one of the most unique projects of its kind. The »GREETINGS TOUR«.

Reminiscing on the classic American »GREETINGS FROM …« postcards of years gone by, Ving (the artist) and Beggs (the photographer) have been traveling together from state to state creating murals in this exact same theme. Adding a touch of contemporary relevance and a sense of belonging for all the residents in the communities these murals have been painted in. In each state, the duo has created »GREETINGS FROM« murals that feature contemporary local icons, landmarks, and historical artifacts. In every case, they leave what was a relatively lull wall space with an impressive mural that brightens the landscape and offers a sense of pride for those lucky enough to live around it.

← GREETINGS FROM Moab, Utah. Too hot to sleep in the RV, Ving and Beggs were offered one week free in air conditioned luxury at the Bowen Motel, the site of the mural. ↑ The GREETINGS TOUR travels through nearly every type of terrain. Each location offering ingredients for the next mural.

← The much loved RV. The workhorse of the tour as mobile home, studio and garage all in one.

↓ The seascapes of Bermuda and endless source of inspiration. Never a dull moment for Lisa Beggs and Victor Ving. ↑ Reliability and quality, the Montana GOLD never lets the team down. Even available in colors made for the location. BERMUDA BLUE, as used in Bermuda.

With approximately 41 murals in over 21 states, the prime goal for Ving and Beggs in this project is to cover at least one »GREETINGS FROM« mural in every state of the USA.

Amongst many locations, in 2019 Ving and Beggs managed to get the RV van over the seas to the coastal island of Bermuda. Or at least symbolically speaking as the need to fly meant being committed to a booked travel itinerary and being finished on time to catch the flights home. With approximately 41 murals in over 21 states, the prime goal for Ving and Beggs in this project is to cover at least one »GREETINGS FROM« mural in every state of the USA. With 9.834.000 km² of possible surface area to cover, we will enjoy watching the GREETINGS TOUR unfold over the coming years.
