Fun utensil rack
The next routing file I am creating is for the Cookies kitchen. It will be attached to the menu board inside. For those who take a good look at Cookie outside they will see he sports a egg beater instead of a hook on his missing hand. The joke is he has a whole selection of other implements handy for when he needs them.
More crazy designs
Between working long hours onsite in our current project during the working days and spending evenings and weekends planning the next large project the MultiCam has been idle of late. That of course will change soon as we begin work on the house once again, do all of the remaining smaller signs for our current project and then begin work on the next project right after. I did the last of the concept art for the Trinidad project last night. Now the construction and engineering drawings are underway. Thankfully they are being done by others although I have a lot of input along the way.
Callahan’s Hot Dogs – Food Truck Wrap
If you’re from NJ there’s a good chance you have great memories of Callahan’s Hot Dogs. Callahan’s Hot Dogs has been a staple in NJ since 1950. Unfortunately they closed their doors about seven years ago.But the grandson of founder Leonard “Artie” Castranni, had big plans for the beloved hot dog business. Daniel DeMiglio, being a smart entrepreneur decided to resurrect the brand…and take it mobile with a food truck. Daniel contacted KDF for the branding and design on the food truck – and we were pumped! We had a short time to get it designed, printed and installed for the big debut. we got it in right under the wire. Nanette jumped right on the design and nailed it – Rad got the vinyl done just in time. We were proud to work with such an iconic “NJ” brand and extremely happy that Daniel has brought back Callahan’s! If you see this truck YOU MUST STOP FOR A HOT DOG! Best of luck – Daniel. Welcome Back Callahans – you’ve been missed! – Steve We started with this… And Here it is!

Spring Project for Bohemian Bloom
Sometimes KDF is just a small part of a project. We could be creating a structure, a graphic or a number of other elements for our clients designs. No matter what is we love to see what our clients final piece! In this case we created some foam letters for Tana Leigh Gerber at Bohemian Bloom who creates amazing paper flora. Check out her work. We used 1/2″ Gator Foam cut on our MultiCAM 3000. We cut tabs into the logo and slotted a base for easy setup.
