January Featured Graphics: Dell Children’s Foundation

First of all, kudos to Dell Children’s Hospital Foundation and the talented creator and artist, Rowan Springs, for these fun and colorful wall murals installed at both Mueller and North Austin Dell Children’s Hospitals.

We are so fortunate to be included in such amazing projects! Just imagine the reactions of the kids coming into Dell Children’s Medical for appointments. We are so grateful they don’t have to wait in a cold and austere 1950’s waiting room! And waiting for their scheduled appointment, which to a kid is probably forever, now young children get to stand up and point, picturing themselves right in the middle of each adventure! Thinking of the fun times to come… picnics, Barton Springs, the healing properties of water! All on the walls of Dell Children’s.

Needless to say, if it can happen at Dell Children’s Hospitals, it can happen in your office. We are currently working with a number of clients on reinvigorating their spaces with wall graphics. With this installation of adhesive vinyl covered in a nice matte lamination, you are ensured an attractive wall covering that is resistant to fading from either sunshine or harsh chemical cleansers. Think of images such as Rowan Springs’ or your mission statement. Think of famous Austin sites you’d like on your walls, or your logo that was recently modified. We’ve done all this and more!

January Artist of the Month: Don Collins

Born in Houston in time to launch the Great Depression, Collins was raised on his Irish Grandfathers small ranch in Parker County, Texas and spent an idyllic boyhood on the banks of the Trinity River. Art became almost an obsession at an early age.

After service in the United States Army Remount Service (Horse Cavalry) during the Korean Conflict, Collins graduated with a BFA from the University of Texas – Austin and immediately began a 56-year career as a free-lance commercial illustrator in Austin. This encompassed a wide variety of subjects, and in 1967 easel painting and art shows were added to his resume.

He exhibited for 34 years at the Annual Laguna Gloria Fiesta, a pioneer outdoor show. He also showed at the Waco Brazos Fest for a couple of decades as well. He showed in most of the larger cities around the Great Lone Star with subject matter ranging from sporting/wildlife, architecture, and historical subjects as well as working on pieces encompassing space exploration and portraiture. Collins departed central Texas in 2008 to Arlington to be near family and remained engaged in art activities, painting for pleasure and commissions. Don passed away with loved ones nearby on October 4th, 2024.
