Ready set go....

Well, since I can't seem to get my act together enough to figure out how to update new work on my website, a friend suggested I try blogging. Lets see if I can manage this with some level of consistency...

Its been a very busy few months at studio Brush. Lots of painting, some designing and consulting, and a few major holidays thrown in the mix. Staying focused and delivering projects on time has been challenging.
Currently, I'm at the tail end of a month long project that I've decided will be the perfect subject for my first Blog...

About 6 weeks ago I met with the owner of the very wonderful Two Brothers Pizza and Mexican in Sandwich to discuss their new restaurant in Plymouth.
Although the Sandwich location has been established for several years, the owner felt that opening this second location provided a perfect opportunity to create a cohesive image and atmosphere...a brand ...for their business. I started by updating the logo and menus, and considering the combo of Greek pizza and Mexican food, came up with a concept that visually represents both. The mural in the main restaurant, which is also mimicked on the menus, creates the illusion of chipping, peeling terra cotta colored plaster over a geometric Greek key design -
The recycled old Formica tabletops have been painted to look like Mexican tile...
and the 18 ft counter top is painted MDF with mahogany trim. Several layers of resin and paint create the illusion of a veined yellow marble.
