Maloof Sports & Entertainment
Maloof Sports & Entertainment, the owner of the NBA’s Sacramento Kings, wanted to create some buzz around the young, rebuilding team and its top players, guard Tyreke Evans (#13) and center DeMarcus Cousins (#15). Maloof enlisted Ferrari Color to create a 175 x 65-ft. tall building wrap – the largest in Ferrari’s history, according to the company. The wrap adorns the headquarters of the California State Teachers Retirement System (CalSTRS) and spans approximately a half mile.
Ferrari Color produced the colossal wrap, which comprises 650 individual tiles, on its Durst Rho 160R 62-in., roll-to-roll, UV-cure, inkjet printer using Clear Focus Imaging’s SuperVue® 50% perforated window film. Fabricators cut the tiles using the shop’s Zund 3XL-3000 cutter and iCut CAD/CAM software. The CalSTRS window-washing crew installed the wrap. Because the wrap was completed during late summer, installation took place during cooler hours over three days.

Dwyer Middle School
Bill Hueg, Dan Seese and Joe Broxterman assisted with the mural’s painting. The team accessed the walls using a Genie 45/23 articulating lift. The 20 x 35-ft. murals, painted with Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint acrylic latex, reference the school’s Art Deco-era architecture and the area’s dual legacies of the oil industry and surfing culture, according to Seibert. Administrators for Huntington Beach, CA’s Dwyer Middle School wanted two bookend murals to identify the school’s mascot, the Oilers. To create the template, an analog projector conveyed transparencies developed from pencil drawings.

City of Lodi’s Art in Public Places
The 13 x 94-ft. mural, which Segale rendered on a cinder-block wall, pays tribute to Japanese immigrants who settled and worked in Lodi’s Japantown District. To chronicle the district’s history, he referenced historic photos and rendered watercolor paintings, which were projected onto the wall. Segale hand-rendered the banner backdrop and used an Electro-Pounce machine to transfer patterns to the wall. He also used the Electro-Pounce system to create the ocean, kimono and cloud patterns. To paint the mural, Segale used Benjamin Moore’s Aura, self-priming, acrylic-latex paint.
