How Important is a big reveal?

You hired an artist who's the perfect fit for your project.


Design mock-ups and the revision process assured that everyone is going to love this piece.


Anticipation grew as your artist came with all their tarps and tape and tools, and the mural started taking shape.


You made sure that your client didn't sneak too many peeks during installation- everyone loves a good surprise and a big reveal!

NOW it's time to do just that-- make a memorable impact in a moment that will live on as a high point for everyone.

What's the plan for the presentation, for the big reveal? Will there be a ribbon cutting, if the mural is in a public space? If the custom artwork is in a private home, will you lead the client in with a blindfold, like on the "transform your space" tv shows?

What if you could offer a moment that no one else could; something that no one is expecting, will elicit gasps of glee, and is guaranteed to be remembered for a lifetime?


 

So, check it out... I'm not only a muralist, I'm also a body painter. One of my elite-level skills is BLENDING models seamlessly INTO a background. I've done this for several episodes of Mister Beast, at Dream Force events, marketing videos, and of course on the hit show Skin Wars. 


The idea just hit me a few days ago that I can add this mind-blowing touch to the murals I create! Don't know why I hadn't thought of it before... it feels like the most "me" thing ever.


 

One of the things that makes this a no brainer is that I already have a roster of body paint models that I use regularly, and they're not just human mannequins, they're also performers and dancers; so the reveal is extra splashy and entertaining. And they LOVE taking photos with everyone in attendance.

The other is that the models can be clothed head-to-toe in a lycra body suit for the painting. It blends great with the background, and keeps the reveal appropriate and comfortable for any audience.


 

I guess the big question is, how important is that big reveal moment, and making a forever impact on your client?

Working with Alison Kenyon on the mural for Sierra Academy was such an enjoyable experience. Alison brought immense talent, creativity, and dedication to this project. She grasped the school’s core values and transformed them into a visual narrative that perfectly reflects our culture and mission.

Beautiful "Isis" brings intense beauty and grace to my home. 
 
In the right light, she literally glows.

A beautiful painting that exudes intense beauty and strength from the canvas into my space.

It was a joy to work with Alison in creating the mural in our treatment area- from design concept to installation, the whole process was a breeze.  She really listened to my vision and made it a reality!  The best part

is that the finished mural brings smiles to the faces of staff and patients

every single day.
