About Me - punke.paul@gmail.com
- Punke Inc.
- Oak Park (Chicago), Illinois, United States
- 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! Contact me at punke.paul@gmail.com with questions, comments and inquiries.

Nando's Rope Weaving, Arlington, VA
The rope for this project at Pentagon Row in Arlington, VA was custom dyed, fireproofed,then shipped to the site and woven onto two welded iron frames with holes drilled every 2". The frames were 8.5' x 5' and 8.5' x 13'. It took me three days to weave...ten days for the blisters to heal!
First, it all had to be fireproofed.
