Fort Worth Children's Museum

22 pieces, including characters and signs were created as a wonderful new addition to the Fort Worth Children's Museum.

Each piece was cut from MDF by and carefully hand painted and airbrushed to replicate the original drawings (drawings by Roto Studio). Each of the pieces had precisely fitting, multiple layers to offer a more 3-dimensional effect.

This project took a total of 3 months to produce.

Drew, on the Beach

Perrysburg, Oh: Summer, 2008

This mural was based on a photograph taken on the beach in Boston. Using the style of a children's book illustration, we painted the mural in the bedroom of the child in the photo. The mural is 4' x 6', is somewhat detailed and took approximately 30 hours to complete.

Lost Woods Mirror Maze

Pigeon Forge, Tennessee: Summer, 2008

This project was a fun one. I painted 150 trees in a fantastic mirror maze at Adventure Quest, an attraction in Pigeon Forge Tennessee. The trees are approximately 8 ft tall by 8 ft across with a total painted surface area of approximately 6,750 square feet, and took 25 days to complete. The design of the mirror maze lends itself to the feeling of endless space, and the addition of the trees really gives you a sense of being lost in a forest. It is the only one of its kind that we know of in the world.

Time Twister

Pigeon Forge, Tennessee: Summer, 2008

For this project I acted as on-site Art Director for LifeFormations Art & Technology Studio. I directed a small crew of artists, and we created signage, props and themed sets. Time Twister is a walk-through attraction based on time travel. It revolves around a scientist who has gathered a number of items from the different time periods he has visited. Time Twister has several interactives, in 5 different rooms that are filled with themed artwork designed to immerse the visitors in the atmosphere of the attraction.
