Chick-Fil-A Kickoff Game 2017

8/18/2017

0 Comments

 
The Chick-Fil-A kickoff game is coming up in just a few weeks, and the marketing team at the corporate headquarters reached out to me about doing an anamorphic piece to get employees excited about the upcoming event. The campus is verdant and exquisitely landscaped and has a college feel. The best part is that every employee seems to be so happy to work there and, collectively, make an enjoyable work environment.
For this project, they asked for it to be done in paint so that it could sit outside for a few weeks. There are tours that take employees and their families around the campus and this provided a photo op for everyone!
The weather was looking iffy on the day I was supposed to paint, so I started the day before in the parking lot at my apartment complex. You can watch the whole video of the process here:
And here are photos of the final piece:

And possibly the coolest thing about the entire experience of chalking at the Chick-Fil-A HQ... they have a REAL batmobile on the first floor!

The W Atlanta Downtown Chalk Mural

8/6/2017

We were so excited to have the opportunity to create and install a 21' chalk mural in the dining room of the W Kitchen, the restaurant at the W Atlanta Downtown hotel. They asked for us to create a cartoony mural that highlighted landmarks in Atlanta. Here's a scanned image of our concept art (incomplete) for the project:

The W Kitchen downtown has gone through some major renovations lately, and this chalkboard was just one of the phases. It took us four days to create on site, and some silly logistics regarding a telescoping ladder, but it's installed and looks great!

Midtown: Highlights are the Botanical Gardens, Woodruff Arts Center, The Varsity, Colony Square, The Fox Theatre, and the Margaret Mitchell House. Also includes a map of "midtown" and some trees because that area is verdant!
In between: Suntrust Park and The Big Chicken (both in Cobb County/north of the perimeter)
Downtown: Skyview, Sweet Auburn Market, Georgia Aquarium, Centennial Olympic Park, World of Coke, Center for Civil and Human Rights, and (of course!) the W Atlanta Downtown. Map of "downtown"
O4W/L5P: These stand for "Old Fourth Ward" and "Little 5 Points", which are east of downtown, respectively. Jackson Street Bridge (best photo of Atlanta!), Ponce City Market, Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site, The Beltline, The Carter Center, Little 5 Points/The Vortex.
In between: Lenox Mall, as represented by a cupcake because of their cupcake ATM machine! (no joke)
Grant Park: Love Lock Bridge, Zoo Atlanta, Oakland Cemetery, Krog Street Tunnel and Murals, Grant Park, and more trees!

One of our favorite parts is the massive ribbon that creates a border around the entire thing, which really brings the piece together. That, coupled with the vibrant colors of the work itself, make this a really cool piece! We sealed the bottom part of the mural to prevent diners from smearing the chalkboard.
