A soriety requested a full redo of one of their emblems. For reference I was provided pixelated image created through an older graphics software. I began with the Pegasus and transitioned out into various layers for the shield, vines, and flowers. I added gradients to the gold accents and flowers.

Speedy Tacos is located off in Sylvan Ave. in the Trinity Groves area of Dallas, Texas. The client presented me a black and white version of this illustration. The client requested color as well minor detail changes. I decided to begin from scratch and created my own version of the Taco featured in the logo. I used four ellipses to create circle feature and filled the outside rim with a custom gradient using tones of green and white. The inner rim was filled with the same red of a Mexican flag.

The customer provided the graphic but i had to remake it from scratch due to the negative being what I needed to engrave the table. The engraving was not deep but the smooth surface of the table coupled with the rough engraving allowed the skull to show perfectly.

I spent a couple days working on this piece. It was composed of limestone and would be mounted above a Buddhist Temple. It had to be big and bright to see from below. Once my guys cut the initial shape I got to work for the next 2 days. I had to get out of my comfort zone considering nothing sticks to limestone but I managed to find a material that would stick to the stone and stay put during the sand blasting process. Once I laser etched the stencil I stuck it on the limestone and started the sandblasting making sure that the engraving was nice and deep. Special paint was used to finalize the piece in a bright red finish.

I actually had a hand in building this columbarium. I worked closely with a general contractor to ensure that the brick enclaves were a perfect fit for our columbarium units. This install had 16 units! 11 pictured here and the another 5 behind me. Depth is one of my favorite features in a photo and the curvature of the columbarium really helped me bring that out in the photograph.

We used our mother company Omni Marble to fabricate the limestone surrounds that we wrapped around each columbarium unit. There are 5 pictured here. After a very dusty installation (due to final touches on limestone surrounds) we washed the floor. The clean floor made for a great shot and multiple color contrasts.
