Custom Wall Murals by Quentin Nelson

When I started airbrushing over 20 years ago I applied paint to just about anything that wasn't nailed down and some things that were.  I airbrushed countless graphics on vehicles, cloth, leather, helmets, paper, glass, etc.  You name it...I probably splattered some paint on it at one time or another.  I soon realized my favorite canvases to "make my mark" were walls, and the larger, the better.

 

I have airbrushed many wall murals in schools, bars, bedrooms, rec rooms and businesses and it always seemed the larger the mural, the more I enjoyed the project.  Check out some of my other work on Facebook.  

Another...Out With The Old... In With The New

It was time for an update on the old Schuyler Nebraska Chamber of Commerce Parade Sign.   The old Parade signage was out-dated and needed a face-lift.  The goal was to create a new sign that featured many of the diverse activities and opportunities available in the little Nebraska town of Schuyler.  Each letter of the name "SCHUYLER" featured a different activity or image, from swimming and education to a picture of the Historic Oak Ballroom dance hall. 

Schuyler native, Quentin Nelson, owner of Q-Graphix was able to reuse the old sign board and apply all new graphics and copy to bring the sign to life.  The sign will be used on the Chamber of Commerce parade float to promote the Annual Schuyler Labor Celebration.

Out With The Old........In With The New!

The Schuyler Nebraska Legion Baseball Association has recently updated the signage they use to promote their games.  The old A-Frame sign had been in use for many years and had served the team well, but when it came time to "repaint" the old sign it was apparent a new sign was in store.  The new A-Frame sign was created by Quentin Nelson of Q-Graphix and is proudly displayed in downtown Schuyler on game days with game time prominently marked on the sign.  The new sign should help draw local crowds down to the historic Merchant Park on the south end of Schuyler on game days.

Schuyler Dance Team holds clinic

LET'S DANCE!
The Schuyler Dance Team held a dance clinic on Friday, January 23rd  2011.  The clinic was open to area youth and was a great success!   Held at Schuyler Central High School, all the participants were treated to pizza from Casey's Pizza and a t-shirt designed and printed by Q-Graphix/Squid Ink Tees.

The Dance Team, along with all the participating kids, took center court at half time during the Schuyler Warriors varsity basketball game that evening.  The 70+ Dance Team members and kids danced to some great tunes to the delight of the crowd.

The Schuyler Warriors Dance Team did I great job choreographing the dance steps and teaching all the participants the moves in very little time, so they would be ready to perform at half time.

Schuyler Warrior Wrestling T-Shirts printed by SQUID INK TEES/Q-GRAPHIX

The 2011 T-Shirts printed for The Schuyler Wrestling Club are pretty cool.  Squid Ink Tees/Q-Graphix designed and printed them with a grunge, affliction type feel.  The shirts were printed on a 50/50 Gildan T-shirt using a variety of techniques to pull off the unique design.

On the back right shoulder of each shirt is the Club's motto "RESPECT EVERYONE, FEAR NO ONE!"

Al Sucha, the Wrestling Club's Director assisted Q-Graphix in the design phase of the shirts.  There were certain elements Al wanted to make sure were incorporated into the design to keep in tradition with club shirts Q-Graphix has printed in the past.

The shirts will be available for purchase through the Schuyler Wrestling Club or through squidinktees.com

SQUID INK TEES VERSACAMM

I love the virtual unlimited abilities of the Roland Versacamm.  The machine works great for banners, signs and all types of graphics.  I have used it for printing one off t-shirts for people.  The end results are good...but I still prefer the look and feel of screen printing.  The iron-on transfer look kind of distracts from the overall graphics of the design.  You can just see that it is an iron-on.

I think it will lend itself well for quick, one off designs.  But for large orders it will never do.

One nice thing about it, is there are virtually no limitations to the design.  Anything I can create in photoshop, multiple colors...anything.... I can print on a shirt, which is nice.

The Versacamm is a great machine. You can find this and many of your sign and graphic supplies at Aksarben Sign Supply in Council Bluffs, IA.
