Iselin Chiropractic just moved into a great new office space in the highlands, and needed some vibrant eye-catching window graphics for their corner unit. Summer House Studio collaborated with Ink Monstr to design this window branding. When the design was completed, Ink Monstr printed the shape cut graphics and sent out its professional install crew to apply the new branding.

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.
Westword (arguably the best magazine in Denver) holds a huge annual art and music festival known as Artopia. For the last four years, they have hired Ink Monstr’s Rustin Coburn to produce their fashion show performance. Starting last year, Coburn brought in the talented Abella Bala to co-produce the show and together they helped Westword turn the fashion show into a huge performance that has pulled in over 1,200 people each of the last two years. The venue chosen for this fashion experience is the three story City Hall, on 11th and Broadway in Denver.
Each year, Rustin Coburn and Abella Bala bring in a film crew to produce a video that tells the story of the shows theme and is used as the introduction into the fashion performance. This year, they joined forces with the talented Focus 4 Design to bring you the DARK CITY GLOW.
Check out the video and enjoy!
If you have been in Denver, Boulder, or Aspen in the last month you have probably seen all the impressive Red Bull signage. To promote their new partnership as the official sponsor of the Winter X Games, Red Bull did a major campaign of window graphics, wall wraps, gondola wraps, and banners.
A lot of Red Bull’s branding for the Winter X Games were images from Travis Rice’s movie “Art of Flight”, which makes for very impressive wall graphics. Ink Monstr loves working with James Kelly and the whole Red Bull crew. Below is a teaser of gallery images, including a new three story wall wrap at Blake and 20th in Denver.
Our very talented designer, Nick Hughes, was asked by Pabst Blue Ribbon to design a Bowling Pin for the Marion Street Tattoo art show in Denver Colorado.
So what better way to showcase Nick’s amazing talents, combined with Ink Monstr’s wrapping capabilities, then to design something in Illustrator, print it onto vinyl, and then wrap it?
Nick did an amazing job with this design. Reed Silberman did the honors of wrapping the bowling pin. Turned out pretty good I think !!!
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.
The Ink Monstr shop has gotten all sorts of improvements over the last 12 months. The latest one was our floors.
We sanded off all the old paint and striped it bare. After that it was clear coated. 48 hours of drying time later our crew installed some huge Ink Monstr graphics to really set it off. The last step was another two layers of clear coat resin to seal everything in.
Want to spruce up your floors with something custom?

Motorola is doing a new national campaign and wrapping Jeep Cherokee’s as part of this activation.
To test the effectiveness of the program they hired Ink Monstr (through the very talented agency in Chicago, Experient) to do a quick print and install job a few months back.
From receiving the art to finishing the print took the our crew three days… normally we are booked out 5 to 10 business days, however if you need something in a bind give us a call

While you may think it is funny to be seeing a boat wrap right now, this is actually a great time of year to wrap your boat.
This special project was a long time in the making. Owner of this beautiful Malibu Wakesetter (Jimmy Do) had some very cool concepts, so we put our top designer Nick Hughes on the project.
Once the design was finalized, we set an install date and got to wrapping. When it was all finished, our good friend Dave Lehl, came by and took soom shots that really show off this gorgeous boat.
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.
Every month Fellers puts on a national contest for the best wrap job. They judge on quality of design, install, and impact for the client.
Last month, they awarded your very own Ink Monstr with the best wrap for the RV we did for Never Summer a months back.

Vehicle wraps are one of the most effective marketing tools out there. Not only are they great way to showcase your company everywhere you go… they also keep your ride in pristine condition.
The folks over at Training Day came to us looking to transform their Hummer and promote their brand. This wrap was designed and wrapped completely in house. The subtle gradients and high res textures really make this wrap pop. Have any awesome wrap idea in mind? Give us a call and we’ll get it done!
