Signature Mural & Finish
|
Whether you're looking to enhance your walls with a mural, add depth and texture with faux finish, create a trompe-l'oeil illusion, or use Venetian plaster to add rustic intimacy, we can help transform your kitchen, living room, children's room, outdoor space, store, lobby, or business office into a place that delights the senses.
We're based in Evanston, Illinois, and create murals, faux finishes, and trompe l'oeil of all sizes in Chicago and the greater Chicago area, including the North Shore.
Please browse our galleries for examples of our murals and faux finishes, and then contact us to set up a free consultation.

Yippee! We're done! Well, we're done - just did some final touches last night. The top coat goes on September the first, though I think we (as in, all 14) are supposed to be done today. Maybe this weekend. ?
We're in the Evanston Review, the local branch of the Pioneer Press, as well. Make sure you click on the pictures ... then it takes you to more & little blurbs on each:
Here's the left side connecting up with Mona's Chef's pots ... all the good smell magic swirling around.
and the bulk of our panel
then where it links up with Leas, the founders of Heartland Cafe.
I have been collecting & putting together video footage. I will make a movie & post it up to You Tube. Unfortunately my computer apparently would like all those movies to go reside on an external harddrive, not sit in iMovie, so I've got an appointment with the nice people at Apple to sort that out next Tuesday.
Hang in there, everyone! It's coming! |

Ooo ooo ooo
I should be working out, but I am of course doing as much as I can to avoid that. It's just delay, not canceling.
Day #2 on the wall, Tuesday, and yes I'm a little slower on the posting. I was more thinking about Epsom salts and muscle relief than blogging by the end of it.
We did get a wee write up in the Tribune:

Michelle is on the panel right in the middle of the mural, and has our name-drop content. Obama kicked off his Illinois campaign at the Heartland Cafe.
And with any luck we'll also make it into the Evanston Review and/or Pioneer Press.
We got this far by the end of Monday
Tuesday we were able to start filling in the food. BJ filling in the food. We are conveniently located - just across the road from a good burger. I had the catfish last night, that hit the spot.
Ginny came to visit on Tuesday
Mona, my neighbor to the left, beginning her sky
And Lea, one of the project's amazing organizers, begins to my right.
I've got more more more pics, but will have to scoot off for now. Keep watching!

Woohoo!
So - we're off! Its been a big day and I'm largely incoherent right now, but hopefully there's enough juice left to leave a quick update.
Yes - we are on the wall!
Spray cans are coming in tomorrow, so we're starting with what Dustin & Won had left over from other jobs. Won gave us a the quick low down on using a spray can this morning. Great for laying out where things are going to go.
All the nice scribbles behind were my own fault ... practicing with the can before laying out.
Thursday night was our first night projecting. Small islands of art action in the night. Vignettes of the artists in action.
b.j. filling in the lower right corner. The concrete is a bit of a pain, you really have to work the paint into the spots. Then you think you're fine, turn away, look back a few minutes later and what do you know ... ? More spots.
Today with lots of artists at work:
And please come and see us if you have a chance to pop by! You may even see us in the Tribune excerpt if we're lucky enough to fall into a good news spot.
