California Custom Copper

In the middle of October we were once again presented with the challenge of creating a custom order. Time was of the essence this go around as we needed to produce 65 bookmarks for the Marketing Concepts Group based out of Long Beach, California, and we had just about a weeks time to do it in. The Marketing Concepts Group is an experiential marketing agency that functions as a boutique, minority run, agency with clients such as Verizon Wireless, Hyundai, and Coke as well as an assortment of amazing events that happen all over the country. Needless to say, we wanted the bookmarks to be stunning since they would not only be reflecting our company but members of the Marketing Concepts Group as well.

With some quick thinking and swift designing we spent a handful of days exchanging information with Allison Thomas, a marketing director for the Marketing Concepts Group. She was in charge of making sure the gifts given at this event were of the highest quality. As we let her know she was one of our best clients yet helping to make the project come alive on such short notice. Just recently she filled us in on how the event went and exactly what the gifts were used for.

Little did we know the bookmarks were going to serve as a gift from Tami Erwin: West Area President of Verizon Wireless for selected guests attending the event. In an email from Allison she told us…

Tami Erwin held the intimate dinner at the Hotel Maya for about 65 guests on 10/26/09 which is where the bookmarks were passed out along with a book from Maria Shriver (she is the one responsible for making the Women’s Conference happen). Overall the event was a smashing hit and all guests had an amazing time….I’ve never been thanked so much in my life.

Well, let us thank you one more time Allison for your seeking Copper Art Designs out to help in creating a most memorable evening for your agency and all of your wonderful guests. We hope to hear from you again in the future.

If you have a project or an event that you would like us to help collaborate on please feel free to contact us, we are always up for the challenge!

Viva la Vino

The Contemporary Art Center is getting ready for their 18th Annual Wine By Design night, on February 27, 2009. The evening honors Mal Vincent, the film critic for The Virginian Pilot,  and the theme for the event is a mix of red-carpeted movie culture, and of course, plenty of fine west coast wine. There is also a silent auction featuring original art, and Hollywood and wine related items. We created a piece in the spirit of the event to donate to the auction entitled, “Soirée a la Chateau Animaux” (or “Party at the Animal House“). If you live in the Virginia Beach area, come out and support the arts while you enjoy a night of live music, Hollywood glamor, and great California wine tasting.

“Soirée a la Chateau Animaux”, 12″ x 22.5″, etched copper with poplar frame.

A play on words in the most literal sense “Soirée a la Chateau Animaux” portrays a sophisticated evening of fine wine and fun in full swing. Personalities of the party guests are emphasized by the animals they reflect. We get to explore the idea that when our inhibitions are lowered or even before they are compromised we all may very well have animated character traits of the most primal nature. Do you see yourself at the party or have you just not shown up yet?
