Picked up a 22 hour countdown kitchen timer here to use as an alarm clock when I travel to unplug from my smart phone to go analog a bit like pen and paper turned to keyboard rhythm on my lap top for this review. Unfortunately no Yelp in Costa Rica so this is likely my last review until the cold San Franciscan June Summer time cometh. Coldest Winter I ever had was a Summer in San Francisco is what Mark Twain said. Forest Restaurant Supply rocks! They have it all and friendly staff so will give them three bonus stars for customer service. Thanks I will be back.

He can take a picture from a book, have it digitized, and blown up and mounted for your wall. Recently I forwarded a random vintage picture off an ad and he was able to capture it, blow it up and mount it for our living room wall. For our business he has done 3 roll out banners that we use frequently. Everything is always price quoted first and every detail agreed upon before work begins. We have never had a bad surprise from him in all of the years he has done personal and business projects for us. He is also very reasonably priced!

The final result exceeded our expectations. Our sign looks fantastic, and they achieved a perfect color match to our wallpaper background, which was crucial for our space.

We highly recommend Martin Sign Co. to anyone looking for quality signage and outstanding service in San Francisco.

I provided the artwork for my signs as well as color specification, and they delivered as-expected. Just a straightforward review of a very straightforward service provided. I'd definitely hire them again and recommend them to anyone looking for signs in the city.

My client and owners saw great work that they did in Sonoma at Three Sticks wine tasting facility. The folks at Three Sticks were very gracious and showed their property to us and event brought out Ken's book when we said we were building an event center in San Jose that we would love to work with their firm on. So, Monday I called I started to try and set up a meeting. First turn off was no one answered the phone, kept calling back and someone finally answered and said send an email with the specifics to info@... Did that and got an email back to meet with a "marketing director," sorry, not trying to sell you any marketing, but OK we'll take the meeting because my clients are so interested in working with your firm. I set up a conference call for Friday 11 with all parties and just before the meeting Kate (the marketing director from Ken Fulk) says oops running late can't make it. Conference call 1 cancelled last minute and client is bummed. I get it rescheduled for the following Tuesday that works with Kate and the client. I'm with the client and their partners on the conference call...and no Kate, no Ken Fulk, no nothing. I call Kate's cell phone, no answer. I call the main office and tell them I have people waiting for her on a conference call and they are potential client's that love your work. I'm told she is in the office and will send me to here line. Rings and rings and goes to voicemail (mind you I'm in the office with some of the clients). Finally, I tell folks to hang up on the conference call (18 minutes later) and send an email to Kate saying, "We missed you on the conference call." Our event center might not have been a huge project but my clients are tied into lots of big developers and San Jose may not be San Francisco but you just don't treat clients an potential clients like this no matter how busy you are. Its now past 8pm the day of the meeting an no message at all from Ken Fulk. We're done.

Mikhail worked with me to design and photoshop a generational page to use in an old style photo album I am putting together for my grandkids.

My main needs were creating Photoshop illustrations and retail banners creation for our company. He would create a file, tweak it, adjust the colors and images to our liking and always stayed on time and within proposed budget. He helped us with mobile application set up as well. Some graphic work, product photography, creation of eye catchy posters and flyers. I also used his services for my personal use - primarily photo restoration. It was amazing to see the final results of my grand, grand, grand parents photos which we thought were pretty much gone to come back to live and in color! Awesomely done at a very reasonable cost. It's easy to communicate with with guy. We did all necessary changes via email or phone. The quality of the design and Photoshop work is fantastic but the best part is the pricing - very cost effective. I highly recommend Michael's creative side. His skills are proven and solid.

Since it was a…read moresurprise, he had to work off of reference photos that I provided (not the most professional ones, he had to use his skill to fill in some of the missing details) but the end product was amazing. My wife loves the portrait, and it is hanging in our house now, and it will hopefully be there for decades to come, a reminder of a time when we were still newly married and had 2 young boys running around the house. In terms of skill, professionalism, and dedication, Zimou is hard to beat. When I have some more money saved up, I would like to have the kids painted next.

My wife and I had the very good fortune of meeting with Zimou several times to discuss the portrait that we were hoping to have him create. Zimou was remarkably caring and quite detailed oriented with how he intended to paint our portrait. He even kept us informed of his development of the painting at every stage as he progressed with our painting. The end result is something we now treasure and consider a masterpiece. Zimou captured not only our likeness with his amazing talents, but he was also able to portray the love my wife and I have for one another. He is one of the most gifted painters we have known, and the art community has loved Zimou's style of traditional realism. The pride Zimou takes in his work is seen with every painting and sketch he completes. Since commissioning Zimou on our portrait, we have been able to acquire several more of his paintings. We are blessed to now call Zimou a dear friend.
