There’s nothing like a dimensional sign!

It is no secret that I’m a HUGE fan of dimensional signs. It’s all we do. But I am also a he fan of including a sculptural element on the signs. It makes them POP! In my case, more often than not this sculptural element will be a dimensional cartoon character. It is what I love and what I have gotten very good at. (Spend 10,000 hours at anything and you’ll get good).

The signs coming our of our studio currently are great examples. They sure make me smile!

The Pedal power by the hour sign is now sculpted and in the paint process.

Jenessa put the finishing touches on the Happy Horse Saloon sign yesterday.
The rest of the signs for the project are ready to install – as soon as the buildings get painted.

I can hardly wait!

Signs install

As various areas in the adventure park are completed it is time to begin the installation of the many signs. Today was that day for three of the many signs we are working on in the shop.

In order to complete the timber and rock work under the Buckin’ Bronco booth we needed to install the sign today. The crew will attach the lath around it and then we will do the sculpted concrete work. It looks pretty cool installed!

Chris, the owner of the park was delighted with the install of the entrance sign.

The Trading Post also got it’s sign today.

In the next days we will install more of the signs as we finish off more areas of the park. They are the icing on a very fancy cake!

Shop day

The rain poured down today making it the perfect day to do some painting on the many signs in production in the shop.  The smaller and relatively flat dimensional signs got their first two coats of base colors today. One more coat and they will be ready for the glazes.

The Happy Horse Saloon sign received it’s final touches to make it ready for installation.
The ladies also mixed sculpting epoxy for me to get a good start on the bear sculpt on the bike rental sign. I’ve been looking forward to getting back to work on this project for quite some time.
The project up at the lake is almost ready for all of the signs to be installed. They will be the icing on a very fancy cake without a doubt.

Solar Powered Airplane 101: Coming To A Sky Near You In 2015

We’re pretty big on solar energy here at Coastal Enterprises, regularly sponsoring many of the solar programs at colleges and universities all over the nation. Of course, when we saw the latest CNN article featuring Solar Impulse 2, the latest creation by Solar Impulse, we felt obliged to share the story!

See how solar planes may be a part of our future sooner than later by clicking here.
