Big3D.com Creates Stunning Lenticular Mural
(Las Vegas, Nevada, USA)
World-renowned tattoo artist Mario Barth partnered with Big3D to produce a record-setting mural. The stunning 3D lenticular
mural was installed in the Mandalay Bay Casino is association with the House of Blues nightclub and restaurant in preparation
for the grand opening of the Mr. Barth's latest tattoo emporium.
The lenticular mural by Big3D was unveiled on October 18, 2007 with representatives of Guinness Book of World Records(R) on
hand to document its authenticity as the largest lenticular mural ever created.
The enormous 3D/flip mural is emblazoned with iconic tattoo imagery surrounding larger-than-life shots of Mr. Barth and his
wife and head of operations, Carol. Lurid colors recall some of Mr. Barth's more vivid tattoo work, much of which adorns the
bodies of some of the world's most famous celebrities. The installation will remain while the tattoo emporium is under
construction.
No stranger to record-setting lenticular installations, Big3D's owner Tom Saville was particularly proud of the company's
latest achievement. "It was a pleasure to work on Mr. Barth's Starlight Tattoo project. His desire to transcend the ordinary
and create a truly stunning graphic display was a challenge I knew we could meet. I tip my hat to Mr. Barth and to the team
at Big3D.com."
Installation went smoothly and was completed in less than one day. When the half-ton crate of lenticular panels was delivered
the morning of October 18th the installation crew overseen by Mr. Saville went immediately to work. Approximately three
hours was invested in preplanning the installation, using laser guides to mark the panel locations. Another four hours was
spent hanging the panels in place.
