| How long have you been creating
these types of works? |
For eleven years now.
|
| Where can I see live examples
of your work? |
The majority of our work is in private residences.
However you can see some examples of our mural and faux finish
work in Chico, California at the Bidwell Perk Coffee House just
off Mangrove and 1st Ave, on the outside of the Waterland Breslauer
Building in downtown Chico, and at Mundy & Company Fine
Jewelers also downtown. Three of the eight Round Table Pizza
locations that we have created a variety of finishes and mural
elements for are also in Chico. Other locations of RTP restaurants
include Auburn, CA, Marysville, CA, Gridley, CA, Roseville,
CA, and Vacaville, CA. When in Paradise, California you can
see our work at the new location of My Girlfriend's Closet,
a boutique-like consignment shop on the Skyway. Unfortunately,
all of our corporate projects are in buildings that are secured
and closed to the public.

| How long does it take for
a custom order? |
Our murals generally take between one week
and five weeks to complete. Some projects may take as little
as one day. Every project is unique and can be ordered to fit
into a range of budgets by changing the layout to either simplify
the design or create an elaborate work of art. When we do simplify
a design to fit into a more restricted budget we do not sacrifice
detail. We just minimize the number of design elements and then
detail these elements the same as we would on an elaborate mural.
|
| What mediums are used to create
these works? |
Our murals and custom finishes are produced
using a variety of mediums including artist's oils and acrylics,
latex house paints, custom blended plasters and pigments, and
oil/water based sealers. We can use products that have minimal
odor when requested by the client.
|
| Is there anything applied
to protect the murals from damage? |
| Yes, we apply either a water-based or oil-based
sealer to our murals after they are complete. Exterior murals
generally receive an oil-based sealer to repel water. Some interior
projects also get an oil-based sealer when a specific look and
feel is desired. Generally speaking, though, interior projects
get a water-based sealer in various sheen levels. |
