Arctic Circle

I was asked to paint the windows at Arctic Circle here in town for spring and to advertise the stuffed animals they are putting in kids meals. They asked me to make it cute and springy and to incorporate the ducks and bunnies and 75 cent burgers everyday. That gave me a little room, and I had lots of fun with it. My favorite part is the funky lettering! It was also nice to be able to paint without my fingers freezing! Welcome spring indeed! The same design, with a few variations, is on two opposite sides of the building and the ducks and bunnies are on the front.

Erickson GMC

I had the privilege of painting a car dealership's windows here in town a few weeks ago. They wanted to advertise for their upcoming tent sale and told me they wanted a circus theme but no to animals and yes to a red and white striped tent. That left my plenty of freedom, which was nice. I wanted it to seem up to date while still giving it that old school circus feel without seeming cheesy, and this is what I came up with. I was flattered that they followed my design when using the marquee to advertise as well. There were 4 sections they wanted painted on different sides of the building to they could catch the attention of cars coming from all directions. The two sets of very tall windows were on opposite sides of the building (same design), and the two smaller windows were on the front of the building.

Circus theme!

I am getting ready to paint a car dealership's windows this week. I was told they were having a tent sale so to go with a circus theme. They wanted a tent with red and white stripes and no animals. Since that left if pretty wide open for me, I decided to doodle a little and get a few ideas going so that I could run them by him first. There are SO many fun ways to take a circus theme, I'm excited to try a few more out this weekend! But I hope they let me paint popcorn. :) I really liked how it turned out.
