Scenic Designer Josh Warner designed the 2015 Evvy Award stage with an industrial grunge influence. Giant sliding doors, I-beams covers and arched support mullions all required faux metal and age treatments that Co-Paint charge Corey Umlauf and I provided. Photographer unkown

A close up of the brushed metal treatment that the massive sliding doors received, and the fake round rivets that were measured out and glued onto the piece before painting. Co-Paint charge Corey Umlauf, Scenic Designer Josh Warner
The wooden I-beam cover on the paint deck floor- it required an aged, dirty, heavy metal finish before being installed in the middle of the set. Co-Paint charge Corey Umlauf, Scenic Designer Josh Warner

With a purposefully off-kilter door (added later) and my brick and plaster treatment spanning the entire backdrop, this little platform stage was transformed into a run down and crooked attic apartment space for "The Wild Party". I painted this set up, the wall had already been built.
A wide shot of the finished paint job before door and set pieces. The wooden floor treatment was skewed to give forced perspective, the middle plank is straight out from the wall and all the others tilt to their given side, creating a subtle star burst effect of planks with varying widths. The audience sat on the left and right of the stage, and this helped give the impression that the floor extended out to them.
A production shot featuring the skewed floor. The audiences seats were not tiered, and slightly lower than the stage, meaning the floor treatment did not need to be incredibly detailed to get the point across. The furniture all received an almost rotted wood effect. Actors Kevin Hayes, Jenna Owens, Eric Schutt, and Kit Prelewitz. Photo by Samper Images

A wall and floor panel I designed and painted in the Emerson College paint deck. While stone, wallpaper, stained glass, and stained concrete make for an improbable room, the prompt was to incorporate many unique surfaces and paint techniques. These panels were not part of a show and were meant to be viewed close up. Painted down on stretched muslin.
A close up of working on my stained glass window and the wooden scrollwork above it. Painted down on stretched muslin.
The completed wall plate by itself. I created a custom stencil for the subtle wallpaper pattern and tattered it at the top to show age. These panels were not a part of a show, and are meant to be viewed close up. Painted down on stretched muslin
A close up of my (still wet) floor panel. I painted a solid color before wet blending with shadows and highlights, spraying, and then saturating the panel with water to create the puddled organic look of stained concrete. I then half-measured half-freehanded the design. Once dry I sprayed and wet the panel a last time to add depth to the flat white. Painted down on stretched muslin.

A set of subway floor strips created by the Emerson College paint deck for the show “On My Honor” we created a stencil/mold with the correct sided holes in it and pressed a hardening compound through to create the texture. Once dry we painted, srayed and aged them before applying them to the set. Painted under the direction of Joe Keener III
