moved into an office space in Hastings and needed to add their own signage to the existing structure out front. So, we created two identical rectangular signs that are attached on each side of the horizontal beam as well as the double sided oval sign that hangs below it. Once completed, the old sign was removed and the new signs were hung up. Scroll right to see a before photo and the style of the old sign we needed to match.

This piece was gifted by a husband to his wife who's a realtor. He said his wife is constantly referring to different neighborhoods in Minneapolis for work and this was his solution to help him and others picture the different areas and where they are in relation to each other as she references them.

A little different of a project for us. We had an independent filmmaker reach out to us wondering if we could add these images to a wooden backboard. If you're scratching your head wondering what the images are about/from, well, these images are stills from an animated mythological movie he created based on the stories his mom would tell him as a kid and a number of characters are based on his family members.

So, given the complexity of the designs, we told him that we could cut the wood "blob" shapes out of plywood, have the designs printed as large format vinyl stickers by Alpha Graphics of Bloomington, and then we could apply the stickers to the wood panels and trim the excess. This solution worked for him, so we got them created and are pretty happy with how clean they turned out for it being the first time we did this. We also helped the client hang them in an art gallery made up of other independent artists that will be used to help them showcase and sell their various projects.

Looking forward to offering this an option for more customers in the future!

The Read For Fun Foundation was recently founded by Shawn Reilly of RG Realty Group. As a former high school english teacher, Shawn found it concerning to learn that in its 2023 report, Kids and Family Reading, Scholastic found 46% of 6-8 year olds are frequent readers, but by 12-17 years old, only 18% are frequent readers.

So, Shawn decided to become part of the solution.

The Read For Fun Foundation's mission is to encourage the life-long enjoyment of reading for fun with all middle and high school students by collaborating with their language arts teachers.

Meet Soleil Ramirez, owner of ! Located at 84 Wabasha Street in Saint Paul, Crasqui is named after an island off the coast of Venezuela and the menu is inspired by Soleil's travels & experiences in her country as well as from cooking with family and friends.

If you visit, you'll notice the restaurants interior is designed to resemble a ship in the ocean hence the shiplap backdrop of the bar/kitchen located in the center and the aquatic epoxy floors. Soleil hired us to add a logo to the bar as well as a photo opp for guests.
