Our focus is on creating art that brings believability to film and stage productions, a better work environment to your employees, as well as invites customers to come in and do business with you. Art can create a desirable destination in a mundane world. Think back to how great art created favorite places in your past. We strive to create real world art that causes your audiences, employees and customers to want to come back to you for a rewarding experience. We love taking on any and all visual design challenges that our current projects schedule will allow. Or we can put you into our calendar que. In addition to remarkable artistic talent amongst our team members, we can boast a state of the art shop that allows us to produce one of a kind art and signage and stage dressing that is much more affordable than you would imagine. You don't have to be a Rockefeller to commission our work. Take one of our recent projects, at ADP, for example. Employing trompe l'oeil (deceive the eye) techniques, as well as shop fabricated art components we created a common area indoor space that chases away the winter blues. An indoor forest if you will, a relaxing space that allows employees to take a break and get back to work with more energy. Give us your challenge, you won't be disappointed.

Happy Belated Halloween!

I like Halloween.  It's an opportunity to do something interesting and creative and every year I go overboard with the kids costumes.  This year I dressed them up as a family of dolls.  Not lovely dolls, the kind you give a sweet little girl on her birthday in front of all of her friends as she's shoveling angel food cake down her throat.  No, these were creepy dolls.  The kind you find in an old hope chest in your great-grandmothers attic.  We took Lucy to Abravanel Hall for the Utah Symphony's Halloween Concert.  Every year they also hold the states largest costume contest and Lucy entered as the doll.



The concert was excellent and just before intermission a couple of radio personalities from KSL came on stage to announce the finalists.  Lucy's was the first name they announced of the children's finalists and it was fun to see her stiffen, then jump in the air a little bit as she spun around to face us with a surprised "Oh!" She and I got to go back stage to the "green room" and meet all the musicians and the conductor or "maestro". (my personal lifetime dream)  many of them asked to have their picture taken with her and we got a few pictures of our own, most specifically, with the lead clarinet, (Lucy's a clarinet player)...
I asked her how far she got into the concert before she realized her costume made it difficult to play.
She replied "About four notes and then I was like 'oh no!'"
The reason Lucy isn't smiling in any of these pictures is she's afraid of damaging her make-up, which is pretty fragile.
and the Conductor who first had his photographer take a picture of them together for him.
Just before conductor went on stage.

Lucy was remarkably comfortable going out on stage in front of 2,700 people.  This year Lucy won second place by the audience, for which she won a gift basket with all sorts of cool items and tickets.  I'm buying the tickets for the Utah Opera from her and she's keeping the tickets to next years Comi-con.

On Halloween we have to get up very early to do the kids make-up.  There's no contest at the middle school, but the boys went on to win first at their schools contest.
    I guess these two experiences officially make me an award winning make-up artist, hmm?


Our last Halloween all our kids.  They don't look very happy, do they?
