Art & Prints
Last fall, Sales and Marketing Manager, Rustin Coburn, got a new 2012 Jetta, and wanted to do something very unique to showcase Ink Monstr’s vehicle wrapping skills, as well as its in-house design talents. So he began working with lead designer Nick Hughes on a one-of-kind art piece that could translate into a vehicle wrap.
For over a month, on Hughes’ spare time, he started sketching and creating a dark midnight landscape of mountains and forests, with an underground scene connecting the whole story. When it was finally completed the team started printing color samples until everything looked perfect. The owner of Ink Monstr, Reed Silberman, decided to take on the application of the vinyl himself. The extra attention to detail from both Hughes and Silberman really paid off, and the finished product is a beautiful one of a kind vehicle wrap that was 100% done in-house at Ink Monstr. Dark and subtle in the nighttime hours, while it is vibrant and bursting with color in the sunlight.

Designers Ryan Lee and Eric Wedum were hired by The Ghost restaurant, to create a three dimensional display of an old fashion bar back. Lee came over to Ink Monstr to help bring this project to life. The finished product is two layers of shape cut 1/4″ plexi with UV spot printing, mounted to a plastic base. The graphics wrapping over the center wood column (high performance 3M vinyl) really help tie the three dimensional bottle graphics together.
With everything finished and put in place, it creates a very impressive and custom back drop for the restaurants bar. If you have a custom project you want help with, feel free to contact us any time.
This week Denver will see the SIA Tradeshow come into town for the third year in a row. From Wednesday to Sunday (Jan. 25th to 29th, 2012), the streets and downtown Convention Center of Denver will be over-run with snow sports industry professionals and athletes.
SnowSports Industries America (SIA) is the national not-for-profit, North American member-owned trade association representing suppliers of consumer snow sports with constituents in the retailer, rep and resort communities. It is the largest international tradeshow for the skiing and snowboarding industry, and it has been great to have it in Denver.
If you make to the show keep an eye out for Ink Monstr’s handy work. This year we have been hired to do the graphics and sign work for over 10 of the exhibitors booths, including Deelux, Neff, Flux, and Nike.
Also, do not forgot to come to our party Friday Night. FREE DRINKS AND REDMAN.
This is the second year that Ink Monstr has participated in Nike’s Shoe Shine. The annual event includes a Sneaker Exhibition and Competition that strives to engage local youth with community through art and sneakers. [read more here]
This years entry was designed by our own Nicholas Hughes. The backboard consisted of reflective vinyl layered with printed clear vinyl and finished off with a matte laminate. And as always we created some custom stickers for the event…check out the photos below.
Heat transfers are a simple and cost effective way to customize apparel. Whether you need 1 or 1,000 t-shirts, bags or even… aprons heat transfers are the way to go!
Benefits of using heat transfers vs screen prints:
- zero set up fees
- quick turn over
- no color limitations
- place is easy to change so each piece is unique
Drawing a little inspiration from PBR the crew over at Burton drew up these awesome blue ribbon heat transfers!

This was a birthday surprise for one of the in-house girls at Motive Agency. Turned out amazing, and made summer time cruising that much better.
