It started in 2017, when owner Tim Bolton fell in love with what we did for Rich Jones.

Tim and Ruly chatted, notes were taken, and ideas floated among members.

Several materials and treatments were tested and experimented with.

Ideas and designs were researched.

And in 2018, a basic look was developed and built.

In the mean time, Tim began searching for a new home for his bakery...

Digging through pages of 1930's European designs latter...

...we culled the list of possible in-bakery people-symbols down to 98.

Tim chose his favorites to put up as full-size paper models, including this one to honor his older daughter and budding-artist Sophia.

We delivered the full-sized models and tested them around the bakery to see how everyone like both the images and were there were.

After about a week of looking and thinking, images went to their final places and were marked for painting.

Application was straight forward, but also occurred while the business was open to patrons, so copious use of "wet paint" signs was employed.
