About Me - punke.paul@gmail.com

I work with restaurateurs, designers, architects, businesses, construction companies and homeowners who need assistance turning ideas, visions, carefully thought out projects and sometimes even bewilderment into beautiful, well crafted finished products. I began doing paint finishes, murals, signage and building custom furniture and art pieces after graduating from art school in the early 80's and have been at it ever since. My largest project spanned almost ten years and began when a client needed help with a restaurant concept that he wanted to duplicate. After the second store came a third, a fourth,until I found myself responsible for creating and maintaining the "vibe" and the look of just over 200 stores in many different US markets along with a warehouse/furniture/artifact/signage production facility to support them! Now, I'm again spreading my talents around not knowing what new project or opportunity is around the corner and loving it. This blog/portfolio shows only some of the work I have produced over the years. I encourage you to dig back a ways. Some interesting things in here!

“Paul is extremely talented, professional, and great to work with. I had the pleasure of working with him on a client project. My firm designed a painted foyer floor medallion. Not only did Paul execute the installation of a of this design, he made it look like it was actually inlayed and original to the beautiful 1920's Benjamin Marshall building. I highly recommend Paul.” July 21, 2011
