This guy is incredible

Some interesting examples of how effective an artist can be to create an illusion...  

A company can do a lot to brighten up a working place such as Miller Brewing was able to do...  

Amazing!!!

Preparing the canvas - plastering the wall surface

 



The wall starts to take on a 3-dimensional appearance

 

Eric in his element, 30' off the ground. He does most of the artwork by himself & researches,
paints and designs each project from scratch. His wife Kathy, also an artist, serves as project manager.

 



 

The German made  (century old) Keim mineral paints are engineered for durability & longevity.
Their  liquid-mineral application bonds potassium silicate with the building's mineral substrate....
they resist UV and moisture corrosion and remain color true for over 100 years.

 

After photos of the 50x58' mural - it's hard to tell you're looking at a 2-dimensional flat wall

Indoor Murals - Miller Brewery

When working indoors, the environment is typically not as harsh and one could
conceivably use large format digital reproductions to create a life-like mural.
However, if the indoor location is exposed to humidity, UV or airborne vapors/chemicals,
digital reproductions will begin to deteriorate rather quickly.
The murals below are painted in oil on a Dibond® aluminum com backing and are
overcoated to protect from the chemical and physical abuse of day to day activity.

 

 

After Photos - Past meets Present in the Miller Brewery Fermenting Rooms -
hooks, clipboards and aprons were added to the surface of the murals to enhance the illusion.
You're looking at flat walls!

Brew Room Includes 22 smaller murals - various sizes depicting historic scenes of Miller's history
going back to the 19th century
