3D Anamorphic WrapAround Mural 'Sweet Strands' CBD Dispensary NYC by Art for After Hours

I’ve spent the past few weeks painting murals for a soon to open CBD dispensary in Queens, NYC. I first painted the first photo mural as a 3D/anamorphic signature mural for the client. She loved it so much, she asked me to come back and paint a wrap around “weed jungle” on the remaining walls, with a large brightly colored bud on one wall. I also painted the exterior facade banner with her logo and products.

It was a very fun and creative project, with lots of latitude with my designs. However, it was cold, especially painting outside! I finished work on Dec. 23rd.

Thanks to Wendy for the exterior assistance of moving the scaffolding and keeping me safe on an inclined street.

I am now working on an animated AR (augmented reality) component using the painted art, which my client is thrilled about and can use in her marketing!

This client has the brightest and most creative, original CBD dispensary in NYC!

Introducing 'Community' with Chalk and Mural Projects by Art for After Hours

Latest Project: ‘SUBMERGE’ Marine Science Festival at Hudson River Park Pier 84

Art for After Hours worked with the SUBMERGE Marine Science Festival Team to create an interactive experience celebrating the wildlife of the Hudson River at Pier 84 in New York City.
Chalk drawing boards were prepared for young children who learned about local wildlife then drew upon two of the three plywood chalkboards shown.
Anthony Cappetto (pictured) of Art for After Hours created a display piece on the third plywood unit featuring a kestrel perched on a branch, an osprey in flight, and a snapping turtle upon a rock in the river.

Celebrating New York and USA at First Command Private Event in NYC

Had a great evening bringing the excitement of 3D street art murals to the attendees at the 2023 First Command Advisory Conference in New York City!

It was great to bring 3D street art to the attendees of a private event hosted by First Command in Midtown Manhattan.

Onsite, I added some texture to the 3D stone drop for detail and to entertain the attendees…

Watch the excitement with our mural and more…

Chalk Art with Still and Animated Augmented Reality (Live)

Yesterday, Wendy and I went out to one of our favorite testing places for Art for After Hours concepts using 3D street paintings or chalk art with animated models of our creation to see the effects live.

This is an extended video showing a number of locations displaying concepts as they progress…

As always, we would like to hear from those who can imagine an installation with hand drawn (or digital printed) art on pavement walls, both for an immersive experience with traditional art and emerging technologies. Contact us with the form below. Thanks.

Mural Design WIP, 4D animated, still augmented reality, live events and walls by Anthony Cappetto and Art for After Hours

Wall Mural Designs WIP Using Still Augmented Reality

WIP with murals as pavement and walls as canvas in paint, chalk, still/animated augmented reality…

Pavement sketch using animated 4D augmented reality

Digital design with our red rhino - fully code based off our hand drawn painted mural. Translatable to hand drawn pavement art in many variotions and concepts.

Starting from a hand painted artwork, concept expanded to present as a two panel anamorphic illusion. Added animated waterfall and figures for the 4D augmented reality effect which allows attendees to interact with the art that can be digitally printed with AR overlaid and viewable through our screen to share with your video social media.

Completed Projects Using Hand Drawn Art and 4D Augmented Reality: Festivals, Public Art, Corporate Events

4D Chalk Art Installations using 3D modeling, Animation with Augmented Reality

Over the winter, we have been working on interesting ways to blend chalk art (streetpainting), 3d modeling, animation, using augmented reality bringing traditional hand drawn or painted art and emerging technologies to our work.

We find these and expanding possibilities exciting as artists and to share with our clients. These are a few of the items we are working with along these lines.

Talk to us for creating a 4D project with hand drawn or digital art for printing, 3D modeling, still and animated scenes using augmented reality for your live/virtual event.

Creating digital installations using our 3D models and digital art as anamorphic illusions on ground and plane surfaces for a total illusion usable on a 3D curved surface at a convention or tradeshow booth.

Ground art can either be hand drawn or realized as digital art on vinyl substrate printed by your desired printer.

Check Out the 4D Pool Party!! Augmented Reality, Chalk Art

4D Animated Augmented Reality with 3D Chalk Art by Anthony Cappetto and Art for After Hours in Westfield NJ

Art for After Hours brought a full 4D animated augmented reality driven installation to the community of Westfield NJ using animated dancing characters, our own hand drawn AR overlays, and traditional hand drawn chalk art featuring this 3D party pool and a series of hand drawn chalk vignettes located around the downtown Westfield area. Some images were set up to have an AR component as part of our weeklong project.

We had a great time sharing our excitement about the blending of traditional art and emerging technologies with the visitors who saw and participated ‘diving’ and dancing with the animated, dynamic characters during the event weekend itself.

A special thanks to Downtown Westfield and Nettl for allowing us to use their animal characters in our concepts and the people and businesses who were so supportive of us through our project stay.

Feel free to reach out to us for a unique 4D animated augmented reality chalk art/mural concept from Art for After Hours.
