"Downtown Cats" Mural by BZTAT in Canton, OH

Now that the “Downtown Cats” mural is complete, I am thinking about the next big thing…

Would you like a BZTAT mural in your town? In your home or business or favorite community spot?

Do you know a company or organization that would be interested in sponsoring an interior or exterior mural in your community?

It could happen. I am willing to travel to different locations to create murals for interior and exterior spaces. Have paintbrush, will travel!

My murals feature brightly colored images that can add interest and energy to community environments, corporate venues, residential spaces, etc.  As with the “Downtown Cats” mural in Canton, OH, my murals can be  part of the revitalization of a downtown or other city area, complimenting an overall community development plan.

Or they could be part of a more personal renovation in your home, adding color and energy to your living spaces.

Murals can be painted on actual structural surfaces or can be painted onto wood or other materials to attach to a permanent structure. (My preference is to do the latter, because it can be done in the studio rather than on location, and because the piece can be moved should the structure be altered after the mural is complete.)

My specialty is pet oriented imagery, however, I also paint a variety of other subjects. Images are custom designs, utilizing my unique style and images. I will create designs specifically to enhance the environment selected.

Some possible uses for a BZTAT mural:

• Enhancement of community spaces where people gather for events, shopping, entertainment, etc.
• Revitalization of downtown and other city areas in Special Improvement Districts or other community development plans.
• Decorating corporate buildings or corporate sponsorship of community art projects.
• Bringing awareness to issues and concerns facing communities and special populations.
• Decorating hospital spaces, particularly children’s hospitals.
• Decorating veterinarian’s offices, doctor’s offices, etc.
• Decorating children’s rooms and other residential spaces.
• Creating interest for pet oriented brands, pet product companies, etc. (Please note that I only paint my own designs and do not replicate existing logos or other artists’ images. Sponsoring a BZTAT custom artwork, however, can bring considerable attention to your brand.)

Pricing varies according to size, complexity, surface, location, and a variety of other factors. Contact me for an estimate for your mural project.

You could be the next big thing on BZTAT’s schedule!

Make sure to attend the Dedication of the “Downtown Cats” mural on August 6 at 7:30 pm, either in Canton, OH or via USTREAM live broadcast online! Register via the Facebook Event Page or Twitter Twtvite!

The “Downtown Cats” mural for which I have been chronicling my work in progress is finally ready to debut in the Downtown Canton Arts District!

The painting is complete and I am putting a final finish on it to make it weather-resistant. Plans are to have it hung on the building this coming weekend.

The mural will be officially dedicated during the First Friday festivities on August 6, 2010 at 7:30 pm, immediately following the Arts Street Parade.

Speakers including ArtsinStark President and C.E.O. Robb Hankins, Tim Belden, owner of the Joseph Saxton Gallery of Photography, and myself will dedicate the mural to an audience filled with cats and dogs as well as human participants. Pets available for adoption from Friends of the Pound and Second Chance for Animals, Inc. will be present to celebrate the event, and to hopefully find loving homes.

Attendees for the Dedication will each receive a commemorative bookmark. I also wanted to make the event available to those who have followed the progress of the mural online from distant places, so  those who cannot attend can view a live broadcast of the event on USTREAM.

Date: Friday, August 6, 2010

Time: 7:30 pm

I hope that you will join me in celebrating this special event. Thanks for following my progress and for cheering me on! You can see a slide show of the development of the mural below.
