Recent school mural project – Claremont High School
Over on the sign painting side of things – a mural painted on the interior walls of this High School gym…
Gym graphics were the project at hand recently – this time, all four interior walls of this gym at Claremont High School in Los Angeles County, CA. Our design included shadowy wolves staring down this school’s sports competition!

Then, on to the school. First was this track shed. Here are a couple of progress shots:
Here is the track shed, done:
Next, the stadium press booth. This was to get painted graphics, then dimensional brushed silver letters installed over the painted portion. The idea was to make a big impression for the school. Here are a couple of progress shots:
