stainglass look without cost or hassle

  my good friends at the Arizona Biltmore  wanted to give there fine restaurant Frank & Albert s more of a presence on the exterior of the building . here we have x2 illuminated wall signs facing the main entrance and x1 facing the main pool and courtyard.  i wanted to give a classical stain-glass look to fit in with the AZB  architecture. the dimensional look is created by routing out (black acrylic) the "FRANK& ALBERTS and the boarder line that intersect the colors .  translucent vinyl was used for the colored areas to keep the colors true at night.

 here are the x2 setups developed from the input of the customer and the surrounding options  

here are the materials being used on site

for the last couple of years i have been collecting images of different materials & images to use in custom full color projects.  now with this project and a few others i decided to incorporate the actual materials being used at the  actual site . here is the finished product .     

kayak trip to Blue ridge resivoir . rain of shine

 anybody-else see the rock face /

 now?

 this place is crazy cool way to spend the day . this is Saturday . perfect weather all day

 this was Thursday and part of Friday . snow  & frozen rain .  no stopping the strong. we had to stay at the campsite 

due to no fire restrictions .  this was a great well maintained site 

 at 8000 plus elevation it feels like your on top 

 of course we made a day trip to Winslow az .  other than this corner.  THERE IS NOTHING. 

 found the end of the reservoir.  

 the famous My SISTERS CLOSET  asked me to come up with eye catcher for  there main office
is due to be changed out in 2 yr. period.  

 using .080 aluminum with  full color vinyl graphics  for back ground and cut out shape logos  i came up with a

fun way incorporate the x4 store logos and sneak in some advertising . 

 got it done for under a grand and looked perfect to its final days .

 Friday

 Friday evening just feels good

 welcome to Saturday 

 this is looking  directly looking into the canyon

a few years back i did a 12 day trip rafting through the grand canyon . never been the same since. since then i have always wanted to get back  and experience it from the rim .  in the winter .  sooo we went  up during what was an on coming snow storm.  Friday  we took the train from Williams az . after spending the evening with the locals.   only way to go. got a room  at the masiwik lodge  in the grand canyon village . Thursday and all Friday was clear and perfect . the canyon was just unbelievable. crazy colors . sat morning the chunks of snow started to stick. by sat. am ...  well take a look for yourself .  at one point the was a large group of girls from china  that came on Saturday .  come all that way to see a bowl of white seems a little unfair.   the drive home on Sunday was a little sketchy for the woman .  they closed roads . had to sneak onto the freeway  to get home

APS solor panel and living wall project w/CFD

this was an unusual project i was brought into by CAMPBELL FISHER DESIGN

 the vertical walls located at the home of the PHOENIX SUNS were promotions for APS
One fitted with solar panels . and this one had actual growing grass .  they wanted a better look than just this
foam board sign .  need to go the width of the wall and stand off the wall a foot . also be very sturdy
 due to being located in front of the restrooms .

 SOLUTION. mdo wood backing w/ x1 piece lexan front .  custom full color vinyl graphics  

   had all of x3 days to produce fabricate and install

kayak camping trip . blue ridge reserivor az

this place looks and feels like being  in a river setting  setting 

the sides are so shear it is near impossible to camp along the shore

 they were doing a prescribed burn the first day.  gave it a foggy feel  

 doing the late night grub thing

getting things worked out .

 still tring to figure the way google uploads photos .  when i do . look out ! got some fun stuff .  i am also thinking about have some "guest photos"  things i like  things that are different . i have been to every little town in arizona
and have seen some very interesting stuff .  i know i don't have any followers YET!  BUT SOON
If any of you fine folks  have photos to show please me know.   PROJECTS I AM  WORKING ON .

  good client of mine named don enamark .  this his third property i have work on .  property is called
9th st lofts. this is don x2nd foreclosed property /complex he has picked up . the areas are ablut as run down as it gets . then all the sudden there is this brand new 40 unit community . it's like a time warp thing.
anyway .  simple project . customer needs :  entrance sign . 4'x4'.   existing  post in the ground .

  here is my final design .  dibond material .(baked enamel aluminum)  with premium x2 color vinyl. ( holds up better than ink.) colors. colors flow with the building paint scheme . sign is in constant sun and may be a good candidate for graffiti. . solution is to build a backup .
don will change out if needed.
