Scott Colwell, owner of Certainly Cinnamon is continually supporting both my business & local events.

In this case it’s to help promote the buskers festival 2010. The acrobat with the hoop is my version of the buskers logo, while the juggler is a reference to one of the images making up the promotional poster.

Gatsby’s, under new management, had been doing a lot of work & promotion for the world cup, even being mentioned in Maclean’s magazine. They did not, however, wish to be typecast as a sports bar as they have live music & fine dining as well.

The annual Jazz festival window competition was the ideal opportunity. Having already worked with Gatsby’s & having already won the competition once we were a perfect match.

I put together a window design, and we got a bunch of old records for which I designed labels from my jazz greats portrait series. The result looks fantastic, and with live patio jazz they’ve completely relabeled themselves as much more than a great place to watch the cup!

One of my clients wanted to spruce up his windows, and is an avid supporter of local events. I got in touch with the event coordinator and established the correct mi’kmaq version of “welcome” and designed a dancer that relates along with the font to the membertou 400 design concept

I was commissioned by one of my clients to paint a window for a contest put on by the jazz festival. I got four other businesses to participate, and put together a mural commemorating the evolution of jazz. The piece works from dixieland to big band, then bebop on to present day. The piece includes portraits of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Dizzie Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Thelonius Monk, Charles Mingus, Miles Davis, and the Shuffle Demons respectively.

It’s a BUNNANZA !! This is the first time I’ve done windows for easter. A welcome change from Santa & such. (Don’t get me wrong, I love Santa)

These are some paintings I designed in order to add some fun & visibility for John’s big sale. I’ve included the original sketches from which I worked in this post. The theme was, of course, moving piles of books.

These are some examples of window paintings I designed for some of my clients for Valentine’s day.

I worked with businesses to develop Hallowe’en windows.

More Christmas windows!

This is something I’ve been doing for years. I work with the business to develop images that represent it, then apply them with acrylic paint on windows, usually reversed from inside.
