We had to work together to bring our vision to life while staying within some building limitations, and he nailed it. 10/10 would recommend and would work with him again. Thank you for the masterpiece, Aaron. Come check it out Reseda x Plummer in Northridge.

Aaron Kai is a Native Hawaiian artist that we, Mauna Loa, partnered with to design and collaborate…read morewith on a multitude of touchpoints. Aaron created bespoke artwork for us that celebrate our heritage in macadamias, that was created into a mural, merchandise, and expanded also into community events in Hilo as well as Honolulu to celebrate our partnership. Mauna Loa is the heritage macadamia brand from Hawai'i, and it was an honor for us to work with Aaron to give back to the community that we are both a part of. Aaron is from Hilo, and worked with the local schools that he went to- Kamehameha Schools in creating the mural. We threw a Mauna Loa x Aaron Kai community event that was extremely well received, and our staff have commented on how the mural has lifted morale at the plant, as it is such a beautiful piece that everyone sees on their way to work. Aaron is a pleasure to work with, professional, and has become a friend personally since the completion of our project. We hope to work closely with him again in the future.

This is an excellent company and I'm so happy with my decision…read more Let me start by saying this is the first time I've hired a muralist and I am also a first time father. This was important to me. Jeanine took the time to listen to what I was looking for and suggested a few things to help grow my idea. I loved that. She came over and was so kind and really took time to understand this was more than just a job; this was something my kid is going to grow up with. She took measurements, and even took color swatches of the carpet and furniture to make sure we matched the color palette! She quickly mocked something up and a few days later I had a photoshopped mockup for approval. Once we approved it we setup a date and I paid the deposit. Marcus was the artist that was assigned to this project. He was so kind and wonderful in my home. He let my wife and I peek and see progress, and would check in with me if he had any questions. He's a really talented artist and executed my vision faithfully. At the end of the day my wife cried (with joy), we have our incredible mural and I couldn't recommend this company enough. Really pleased with how it turned out and I will be calling them again for my next mural or art project.

There is not a person who comes into our house who does not remark on how beautiful it is. We documented the process on our TikTok @Living_in_History if anyone would like to check it out to see how they work. The design team is incredible at what they do. The muralists they send are such professionals, so talented, and a joy to have had in our house. They are extremely tidy while they work, and I just have nothing but positive things to say.

Working with Jules was such an incredible experience! She took my vision and absolutely brought it…read moreto life better than I could have imagined. She was extremely professional throughout the whole process. She gathered some basic information on the scope of the project and promptly provided a reasonable quote and drafted a contract. I had shared inspiration images and was debating between a couple differing styles, and she provided two unique designs and worked with me on adjustments to ensure it was just right. The day of painting, she and her assistant, Teddy, were so prepared and did just an outstanding job. We are beyond thrilled with how it turned out. The design and craftsmanship is stunning, and I was so impressed with her ability to interpret my ideas and create something so perfectly encapsulating the style we were looking for. I would highly recommend hiring Jules for your mural needs and am already looking for opportunities to work with her again!

They are now back in stock at Popmart (since the trend is dying), so you might as well go straight to the source and save yourself $40. Also, it doesn't help that the business owner constantly complains to customers about having to pay $20,000 a year for Square (the credit card system they use). And now he's adding a 20% charge to all credit card purchases. Part of running and owning a business are expenses. If you can't afford to run a business, then don't run a business! And don't complain about it ad nauseam to your paying customers. And the place has a strong fish odor because of the market next door.

Ms. Antoinette is a wonderful teacher. She is kind, encouraging, and really brings out each child's artistic side. She helps the kids feel confident and proud of their work. One of the best parts is the friendly poodles. If the dogs are around, they're super sweet and the kids love them. It adds a warm and playful touch to the whole experience. We also like that they allow food and drinks inside. It makes the space feel relaxed and comfortable, like a second home where kids can create freely. Overall, ARTuity is a fun and inspiring place where kids can express themselves through art. We highly recommend it.

The owner/teacher is so incredibly kind and she really creates a calming environment, when you step in the studio with the light piano music in the background it just gives you and I'm sure the kids just a great peaceful atmosphere. I really appreciate this place here in the AV. There are classes all week long and they have a website to check it out.
