What we do

Murals, banners and signs

Hand-painted work at building scale, by the crew that cleans the wall afterwards too: murals, banners and signs, graffiti removal — and the paint science that runs through all of it.

Murals

A small image, exploded onto a massive canvas

Brand walls, painted portraits and civic commissions, projected and painted by hand. Twelve of them so far — 23,294 square feet in eight cities, the largest 85 feet across.

When it comes to mural creations, it starts from a small image and explodes onto a massive canvas. It takes meticulous prep work to ensure that the scale of the image is appropriately captured. The ability to scale and project is what differs an artist and a muralist.

Banners and signs

Hand-painted, at any size

The same brushes on smaller surfaces: storefront signs, hand-painted banners and interior lettering. Ephraim’s own line for the company, and it has been the line since the first version of this site — murals, banners, art.

Paint science

There is a science to paint

Two of Ephraim’s three stages are about what happens to the paint after the crew goes home: how it will fade, and how it survives what is thrown at it.

Paint analysis

There is a science to paint and an understanding for the preservation of the environment. We analyze the way the paint will decay over time and how the light will affect its color. This intensive process allows us to use only what we need and what will last.

Mural preservation

After the completion of the mural, we understand the fears of clients regarding vandalism and degradation. We take this into account and apply environmentally friendly coating that will make it easy to clean any future vandalism without damaging the art work.

We take it off, too. Graffiti removal, pressure washing and commercial painting in NYC. The fourth thing the company sells, and it has a page of its own.
