It's been such a busy month we almost forgot to post our monthly newsletter; but here it is, squeezed in on the last week. A lot of our work recently has been on the drawing boards so not too many photos to show. One project we have on site at the moment is the Bray Mosaic project (see our June post and mural-to-mosaic.blogspot.com) which is progressing well - We will have a newsletter next month covering developments on this project since the summer.
So, with the cinemas doing so well over the rainy season we thought we'd showcase our humble contributions to that success with some shots of our artwork for Movies@Dundrum and Movies@Swords from a couple of years back. Working with designer John MacDonald from McNally Design/McBuild we worked on a number of mural features based on 1930s and 40s cinema iconography. The brief was to combine a contemporary multiplex with elements of art deco and classic cinema interior design. Both sites were some of the biggest we had worked on and at one stage we had up to 8 artists working together on murals, digital images and paint finishes. Here are a few examples of many from those two jobs -

So, if anyone has any cinemas to decorate we come with plenty of experience and are open to any offers - but for now, Happy Hollow e'en and see you again in November....
