HUB mural:
Jim Collins has been working on the large sports mural in the HUB dining area
for most of the weekends of the summer, and it will probably take the rest of the
term for him to complete his work. Although he has painted murals before,
Collins went to work on this one when he won a contest sponsored by the Office
of Housing and Food Service Operations during the spring.

Daily Collegian Staff Writer
Jim Collins is an artist who is spending.
most of his weekends this summer work- .
ing in Beaver Stadium figuratively
speaking, that is.
Collins is painting the sports mural in
the new dining areas under construction
on the HUB ground floor. He chose to set
his work as a scene in Beaver Stadium,
but football is only one of many sports he
has incorporated into his mural.
He was chosen to paint the mural from
a field of about 20 who competed in a
contest held by the Office of Housing and
Food Service Operations in March, he
said. The winner was announced the first
week of June, and Collins expects he will
be weekend-painting for the rest of the
summer.
Although the contest limited him to a
given theme sports at the University
Collins does not feel as if this con
strained his creativity.
"I chose the content. I said to myself,
`what do these people want?' I targeted
my audience. Of course, it was a sports
theme. But I chose what to put in it and
where everything went," he says, peer
ing critically at a freshly painted patch of
crowd.
And, although this is his largest work
thus far, Collins has had experience with
murals before. Among the half dozen or
so he has painted, was onp•for a mental
hospital.
"I painted a jungle for them and it
was fun. But it made me count my
blessings and realize how fortunate I
am."
When he isn't at work on his mural,
Collins freelances or is employed at
Spruce Cottage, where many University
publications are designed. He does pho
tography, paste-up and some design, but
he prefers not to have his talents pid
geonholed.
"I consider myself an artist who works
in a variety of mediums," he says. "Pho
tography, painting, design . . . it's all
visual."
But Collins can take his art quite se
riously. He holds a bachelor's in art
history from the University of Mas§achu
setts, although his early study was more
inclined toward studio courses.
"I got into art history because it gave
me a more balanced picture, a more
objective view of the art world than (did)
through the artist's eye
the conceits of my studio instructors
Well, studying art history was the best
thing hi the world for my education as an
artist," he says.
And having acquired an appreciation
for the evolution of art, Collins has also
acquired some opinions about its state
today.
"The Art World is just a small group of
people that constantly bid up the price of
artworks," he says. "Then there's the
stuff in the middle, like painting murals
at Penn State. This is akin to American
painting." •
But Collins is sure about painting those
murals.
"It's more than money. It's fun. It's
what I do," he says.
And he finds State College is a conge
nial place to do it.
"I like it here. Mainly because you
don't need a car. I hate being dependent
on a car. When I don't have a car, it frees
my soul."
Collins will sign the mural "Seamus," a signature he uses on his non-photographic artworks. The work takes up an entire
wall of the HUB dining area, measures about 20 feet by 7 feet, and,is composed around a central ellipse formed by the Lion,
the leaping gymnast, and the lunging fencer. •
