StarMurals Announces New “Mailable” Sample

StarMurals “Startist” Rip Read has just announced the release of the latest version of his “portable” samples…suitable for mailing, worldwide. The new sample is in the form of an 8” x 10” canvas art board with a simple view of the night sky…a random starfield, with over 200 hand painted stars.

“One of the biggest issues I run into is “believability”. Because my StarMurals are literally unique in the world, people, even cutting edge designers, have not seen them, yet. Frankly, it seems that when designers read about the amazing effects I promise on my website, they tend not to believe it is possible…because they have not seen these, personally. The result is that they don’t present StarMurals to potential clients. I’ve long struggled with how to bring these effects directly to interested parties, worldwide, effectively”…said Rip

The new “scaled down” samples are highly effective and highly portable. Earlier this year Rip was faced with having to provide presentation samples to two top London based hotel designers for potential projects. Those requests led to the development of the current samples. The larger versions, on canvas, were shipped to these designers and proved to be quite effective. A top architect at Richmond International called the samples “very impressive”. Comments like that don’t come easily from companies like Richmond.

The new samples come in a standard size presentation portfolio with Rip’s picture, airbrush in hand, on the cover. Inside is the sample canvas, packaged in a clear art envelope, with full viewing instructions affixed to the back. According to Rip, one of the biggest issues about sending samples afar in the past has been that the presentation dynamics were beyond his immediate control. While that is still the case, the highly detailed but easy to follow instructions make for a nearly flawless remote presentation, when read and followed. Rip promises a “magical” experience.

The new StarMurals samples are simple in design…no “shooting stars”…no airbrush work…just a peaceful, hand painted random night sky. The total purpose of the samples is to convey the core dynamics of the art…namely the 5 dimensional aspects. Each of these samples conveys quite nicely the glow of the stars, the illusionary depth and most importantly, Rip’s signature “twinkling” movement. Each sample board is alive with this movement…something you have never seen before…a seemingly two dimensional art form that is “moving”.

The samples are available for immediate shipment, worldwide, to qualified designers and hoteliers. As these samples are hand painted and cost money to ship, Rip is asking interested designers to pay a $25. “sample fee” to obtain them. The fee covers the cost of shipping and is fully refundable with your first project commitment. The idea is to provide these samples to serious prospects only. To order your portable StarMurals sample, just send an email to Rip through his page in the Directory with your name and shipping information. Rip will send you a PayPal invoice to facilitate easy payment. If you have not yet visited Rip’s website, you are invited to do so at starmurals.com
