Paul Smith < Back SIGNATURE STRIPE Overview Service OM Art Studio, Commercial industry Apparel & Accessories markets Los Angeles Wall(s) 1 Wall impressions 129M + The time has come for Los Angeles's most Instagrammable spot to peel back its bright pink layer and reveal its Paul Smith Signature Stripe. The famous Pink Wall on Melrose gets a makeover! This change c omes as a huge surprise for the daily influencers and tourists who visit the “instafamous” Paul Smith Melrose Avenue shop for its well-known bright pink backdrop that has ignited a #pinkwall hashtag all over Instagram. Now, the landmark on Melrose Avenue has a new look with a design made in-house by our out-of-the-box (literally) thinking Art Studio team. The Paul Smith creative team based in London, approached OM Art Studio with an idea to design a special mural and transform this famous corner. The design will celebrate the brand's iconic motif. They wanted a trompe l'oeil-like mural that appeared as if the hot-pink exterior of the storefront was being ripped away to reveal Paul Smith’s inner Signature Stripe. How did we achieve this effect? ​ We were resourceful in our pursuit of the perfect, choosing a box we use to ship gifts to our clients as a small Paul Smith Store model (Is this a store for ants!?). We sourced the brightest pink paper we could find from our local art store Blick, to recreate the iconic pink wall. We gently sprayed both sides of the box with adhesive, attached the pink construction paper to its exterior, and began to tear and peel. After only one try, we found the effect to be a great representation of Paul Smith’s original design request. The results can be seen below: Yes, we could have spent time researching a great peel and tear stock effect on the internet or manipulating a shadow in photoshop, but our team wanted to present Paul Smith with a design that reflected the real deal - The shadow from the peel was sourced by New York City's finest sunlight hitting the pink paper. And the real paper tear was created by our nimble fingers gently pulling back the pink paper for an authentic tear effect. For the next seven days, our paint team hand painted the design, and every bit of detail as our Content Creation team captured the whole process from start to finish. ​Once Paul Smith approved our design, our OM production team launched a full-court press, sourcing 15 gallons of paint we custom-mixed by eye to match the 40 different colors that makeup Paul Smith’s signature stripes. We used two types of paint, including water-based paint with a flat sheet (including the “Pink Ladies” wall color) to hand paint the pictorial effects of the shattered wall. The second paint was our go-to, glossy oil-based enamel to create a vibrant hand done super straight line work. The juxtaposition of the two different mediums is rather dynamic. The contrast of the two textures gives the effect of the signature pink shedding its skin to reveal a glossy and fresh new layer of Paul Smith’s Signature Stripes. This is a first for Overall Murals to use this technique of using two types of based paint and after seeing the results, it won't be our last. “It was insane seeing how many people photographed and took videos of our painters revealing a new wall design. In no time our painters will be #instafamous too!” comments OM Senior Producer Hayden, as he watched passersby’s response to the design change. ​The mural has been photographed with Actors Matt Rogers , Mason Gooding and Sam Richardson , danced in front of, and slowly revealed each day by Instagrammers killagramz3xl , and TikTokers @notbfiner , all of whom excitedly anticipated the ultimate BIG REVEAL.

ADIDAS < Back IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING Overview Service Outdoor Advertising industry Apparel & Accessories markets New York Wall(s) 3 Walls impressions 1.5M+ Adidas has a mission: For the world to see only the possibilities where others may see the impossible. And we had the privilege to mark that message all over New York City. The Adidas slogan "Impossible is Nothing" originated in 1974 and was derived from a quote by Muhammad Ali , world-famous boxing champion. Ali endorsed the brand making it the most important milestones for Adidas. In 2004, the tagline became the brands biggest marketing campaign with the intention to communicate their passion for the sport by connecting the brand with athletes.​Why athletes?​ Adidas Executive Board Member Erich Stamminger explains, "As an athlete you always strive to go further, break new ground, surpass your limits. So do we as a brand, to achieve our mission to be the leading sports brand in the world." Fast forward 16 years and the campaign continues to reign. Except for this time the series not only involved famous athletes like basketball star James Harde, sports personality Ally Love, and running legend Jackie Joyner-Kersee. The campaign also includes local heroic Brooklyn-based runners, Jessie Zapo, Dre Pabon, Shiara Robinson, Kwasi Kessie, Lottie Bildirici, recognized by Adidas for bringing the possibility into everything they do. We even had the privilege to meet them in person and witness their authentic reactions as they saw themselves on a wall in a prime location in Williamsburg. They invited their friends and family, posed proudly in front of the wall, and shared the message on all their social media platforms. One of the runners depicted even posted an emotional series of Instagram stories, capturing his reaction as he saw himself up on the wall. He then posed for photos with his wife and kids to further commemorate the moment. ​The massive pictorial murals can be found on three of our best units in Brooklyn and Manhattan, including our largest street level wall located on the five-star William Vale Hotel in Williamsburg. Everyone we hand painted on these walls is someone driven by action. They are people who see the world with only possibilities and are driven to shape a better world. They are what brings energy and excitement into everything we do. As our co-founder, Angel says, "We paint the impossible" , and that is just what this was for us. From a not-so-favorable forecast to long cold 12-hour days, our painters worked around the clock to meet a deadline and do what many thought would be impossible. ​ The results? Well, see below for yourselves. Previous Next

The New School < Back INTEGRAL RUEDI BAUR Overview Service Commercial industry Education markets New York Wall(s) 1 Wall impressions ​ Overall Murals was selected to produce a large intricate ceiling mural, conceived by master graphic designer, "Intégral Ruedi Baur" at The New School University Center at the corner of 14th Street and 5th Avenue in its downtown campus. The Overall Murals team of artisans painstakingly hand-rendered Mr. Baur's custom lettering, composed of groundbreaking subjects and luminary instructors of historic New School classes. The original balances the university's newly constructed and impressive building, which has been described as "challenging the status quo" and proof of The New School's "commitment to creativity, innovation, and social engagement." Through its curriculum and advocacy of important architectural achievements such as this University Center, the New School upholds its reputation for housing innovative minds. Unlike many traditional colleges, the New School strays from the arbitrary in regard to its curriculum. Instead, this cutting-edge institute allows its students the freedom to choose their own scholastic approach to education. Students are encouraged to "seek an unbiased understanding of the existing order, it's genesis, growth and present working," according to the precedents set by its founders. Interesting programs offered such as "Women and their Money," taught by Dorcas Elizabeth Campbell in 1949, "Games: 101," and "Punk and Noise," are just a few of the hundreds of classes and instructors immortalized on the school's foundation in an array of colors. Mr. Baur’s design is based on the 3D font he created for the New School, based on Peter Bilak’s font, Irma. The font is used throughout the building as a wayfinding system, and as the foundation for the stairwell murals, which are visible from the sidewalks outside of the building. Designed by the New York office of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), the University Center was conceived as a sixteen story campus within a building. Vertical, horizontal, and diagonal campus pathways work together to facilitate movement through the building, and increase opportunities for spontaneous interactions. The system of stairways are the principle means of circulation, and a strong focal point both inside and outside the building. Contrary to the perfect, modern black and white interior design and furnishings of the campus, the elaborate typography is as perfectly but imperfectly painted and composed of over 150 hand blended colors. Our artists practiced precise brushstrokes to create the crisp, vibrant typography over the course of several months on one stairway and four floors while standing with their necks craned for ten hours or while laying down on lounge chairs and scaffolding. For comparison, a mural of this size typically requires our team approximately one-week of production. The original design coats three angled stairwells or 4,200 feet. (the Sistine Chapel, by comparison, covers 6,118 square feet.) At the project's completion, we believe these laborious paintings enhanced the importance of their message and imposed on the viewer everything that the New School advocates: fresh perspective.
