Backdrops and Props

for Supplier Fairs

Since 2003, I have painted backdrops and built props for supplier fairs.  Some of the the vendors include: Hartz, Purell, Sunkist, Nestle, and Hostess.  Most of the Backdrops are 8' by 20' and are on canvas or wood panels.   Sometimes the themes are a little whimsical, but that is what makes it fun.   

O'l Roy and Special Kitty Bowling Lanes.  I painted the 30' backdrop, the dog and cat cutouts, and the 10' tongues which make up the lanes.

This 10' by 20' structure was was painted to look like an old world map and stone.

Hartz's miles of smiles. I painted the 20' backdrop and built the game.

Purell hand sanitizer.  One of the games was Whack-a- Germ.  I painted tiny germ faces on foam ping pong balls.

I did this 20' backdrop on canvas for Sunkist. 

Hatz pet parade.  I painted the 20' backdrop and the blue truck and trailer.  

This hand painted carnival backdrop is 8' X 20'. 

8' by 10' Birds Eye Foods backdrop.

I painted 36' of this backdrop for Nestle.

Hostess--a dancing Twinkie, Ding Dong, and Cupcake. What else can I say?

Shwan's pizzeria. I painted the faux brick.

Dogs are from Mars, cats are from Venus. I painted the backdrop and built the dogs, cat, and hanging planets.  The props are made of papier-mâché.

Purina--I painted the backdrop.  The stars are little paw prints.  Look closely.

Black and Decker--This backdrop is 4' by 8'.

Hamilton Beach--I painted the side panels and the signs on the structure.

Purina--the backdrop is 8' by20', and each house is a painted cutout about 2' in height.

I painted the 20' backdrop for Hostess.  I also built the 3-demitional loaves of bread out of wood, wire and canvas.  The wonder bread is almost 6' tall and lights up from the inside.

Painted cup of steaming coffee.

Parent's Choice--I painted the 28' of backdrop and the cutouts of corn, wheat and cotton.

This is a painted wall for the company Hasbro. It is designed to look like G. I. Joe's secret headquarters.  The front wall is metallic and is 8' x 30.'  The wall behind it is camouflage.

This is also painted for the company Hasbro. It is painted to look like a war zone for Transformers.  In total, it is 8' x 30."

This is some graffiti that I painted for two different vendor fairs. One was in 2008 and the other was in 2009. The faux brick walls are 8' in height. It is not very often that one can get paid to paint graffiti.
