My artistic technique is not restricted to just wall paintings. Because I paint on wood, I've been asked by architects and designers if I can do tables, doors, privacy screens, floors, etc. I'm in the process of exploring these applications. If an idea comes to mind, call me... anything's possible!

South Beach Tanning Company
Altamonte Springs, Florida / Brian Hibbard, owner
Brian Hibbard knew hitting the party scene in Miami’s South Beach is the trendy thing to do in Florida, so when he planned the South Beach Tanning Company, he worked with designer Kurt Merkel of Kurt Merkel Designs and modeled it after a Miami nightclub.The result is a unique salon with a South Beach chic appeal, inspired by the Art Deco look of the 1920s and accented with bright colors. According to Hibbard,just like the hippest clubs,customers say South Beach Tanning Company has become the place to be for tanning.
