What We Do

GLASS ART & DISTINGUISHED SIGNS

Glass Art

Reverse glass art carries a reflective quality with it that nothing else can match. When authentic gold leaf is added to our projects the result is brilliant & spectacular. The paint colors are so bold that they almost jump through the glass.

Distinguished Signs

We make art & signs with the intention of turning heads. The unique quality of what we can deliver is out of the ordinary. We think that you will recognize our signs when they catch your eye.

This glass sign commemorates the small town of Redfield, Iowa. As we designed this attractive layout it brought back many memories of the people in the community and the countryside that surrounds them. Doing things, like riding bicycles or having breakfast at the Legion Hall on Saturday mornings. Driving west of town on Thomas St. and rolling across the bridge over the Raccoon River to watch its water spill over the dam. The area has a lot of rolling hills and natural rural views. The limestone wall at Hanging Rock Park is a calming, peaceful example. If you have the opportunity to visit Redfield don’t miss out on the great conversations to be had with local folks who may have lived there for their entire life. The newbies are nice, too. But, the real question is could your town use a new sign, or maybe its first sign? **Contact Us**

Metal Gilding

The beauty of metal leaf gilding is stunning. It has been in use since ancient times. As we heard it, gold leaf is the oldest continually used element for artistic purposes known in human history. When it is applied to glass it is a visual celebration. If you have ever visited downtown Des Moines, Iowa, then you have probably seen gold leaf – on the dome of our state capital building.

The image above shows a closeup of the progress being made on one of our sign designs. A variety of techniques which include burnished water and oil metal gilding as well as the clean strokes of blue and black painted outlines that elevate the warm sheen of the 23K deep gold. An attractive background was added later to complete the composition, which resembles stained glass. See the finished sign under the heading, Our Work, or review the next section, About Us. — The image above shows a closeup of the progress being made on one of our sign designs.

T-shirt Designs

Creative freedom is alive and well in the realm of T-shirt art. We have dreamed up, designed and produced thousands of unique art compositions for apparel. A large number of our designs were produced for music events, but there are many occasions for T-shirt graphics. It would be difficult to list them all. In addition to commemorating music events a few of our other favorites are family reunions, sports events and nonprofit efforts. The list goes on and on. We can handle your entire project from start to finish. Let us know what we can assist you with. Do you have a question? Just ask. Contact Us for a quote or to discuss an upcoming event.

Here is a group of girls who are all wearing T-shirts that we designed. Each design represents a themed marching band show. These musical productions are presented with impressive arrangements for brass, woodwinds and percussion, with colorguard choreography and razor sharp marching drills. We are always honored to see our apparel at these events, Especially, four different examples all together on the same day. Promoting a given theme with a unified look boosts harmony, no really! We think our T-shirt designs offer groups an advantage by helping them become better teams. Branded apparel can encourage camaraderie within any organization or venue.

Photo Retouching

This is an opportunity to create a scene to be almost anything that you can imagine. We can paint with pixels to enhance new images or to repair old photographs. Multiple images may be combined or effects can be added to present a brand new, realistic visual composition.
