Locomotion


Every day I pass a nice theme restaurant called 2TOOTS Steam Whistle Grill that delivers lunch to the counter on a model railroad car. I drove by this morning and noticed that there was no sign on the building and thought I would make a model of an old steam engine just for fun to show them.
This model is 12" diameter and 1,1/2" deep in its unfinished state. We could paint, metalize, or finish it in a number of ways to create the final piece. Of course it could also be as large as you like.
These types of custom 3 dimensional creations add a very nice design element for signs or other architectural accents. So if you're looking for that unique piece to attract an audience, customers, or for that special someone, we would love to bring your vision to life.
I hope you enjoy it.

On the Set of Square Peg's


A while back we did an interesting piece for a movie set. It incorporated clear plexiglass which was covered with an Oak veneer, V carved text, then burned with a torch for the final aging effects. Once completed this piece was backlighted with candles for the final scene.
The short film is a project of my son Ben's film titled "Square Pegs" which will premiere at the Downers Grove Tivoli sometime in January and no doubt in many independant film festivals.
As an aside the Tivoli is the 2nd oldest movie theater in the US, West of the Appellation Mountains originally built for "The Talkies" and its a beautifully restored theater complete with the rising pipe organ and organist. You really need to see it yourself to appreciate it. So maybe we'll see you there at the "After hours Film Society's" Tivoli premier in January 07.
