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.

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.
