New green plasters

noreply@blogger.com (Splatman) — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 02:45:00 +0000

Thanks to a new line of interior- and exterior-rated, eco-friendly, decorative textures imported from Japan, the natural beauty of nature can be transferred to walls and surfaces more effectively than ever. Seashells, sand, stone, soil, rice-straw and natural cork are just some of the natural elements that combine with low-VOC solutions to create strikingly fresh finishes inspired by nature.

I undertook an intensive training program on Florida's east coast to learn how to use the products, and earned the manufacturer-required certification to purchase and apply them. I love the potential and versatility they possess, and how they look, feel, and launch conversations!

Splat Paint was chosen to participate in a project aimed at helping to spruce up and bring new life to a blighted portion of Tampa's Downtown. We created a life sized store front mural of an ice cream parlor. It was originally supposed to be installed behind the glass of one of the stores but due to a technicality, it ended up being mounted on wood on the outside of another store front. The work of Splat Paint and 20 other artists will be on display for the next six months.
