Arkahdia Arts has been contracted to create all the architectural decorations, statuary and water features for a pair restaurant/clubs in New Jersey.



The theme for these new nightspots will be ancient middle eastern. The Artwork and decor will include reproductions representing multiple past cultures including Egyptian, Assyrian, Persian, Israelite, Babylonian, and Mesopotamian.


We have been tasked with creating all architectural and Large Decorative Decor components for the inside and outside of the building. This includes Large Panels, Plaques, Columns, Crown Molding, Cladding, decorative surrounds, Ornate Lattice, Fountain Features, and many larger then life statues.

In conjunction with the client's Architect we have chosen many famous pieces from antiquity to reproduce as they looked when they were made 1000s of years ago. Over the coming weeks we will be showing you the process....

Sculpted Obama Bust Completed - a work of art is born.....




Artist Brad Reyes has really put his mark on this commemorative bust of Arkahdia Arts.

The piece has been completed just in time for this presidential inauguration.

This bust captures the 44th President of the united states strong continence and the resolve to lead us into a better future.


It is so appropriate that this piece be finished
on Martin Luther King day.
(Bust of MLK from Arkahdia Arts)

Thus commemorating the leader who pushed the movement to our national enlightenment and fairness to all.

And the present embodiment of our American belief that anyone can rise to heights and provide for oneself and ones family with dignity.

That's what makes us so proud to offer this Bust of President Barack Husein Obama. The 44th president of the United States of America.

More refined version of Barack Obama Bust

Check out the latest images of Arkahdia Arts President Barack Obama Bust from Brad Reyes...












It's coming along superbly....














This bust of Obama makes me believe in the slogan at the top of the Obama / Biden Campaign site.



"I'm Asking you to Believe - not just in my ability to bring about real change in washington ... I'm asking you to believe in yours."










Brad sure has captured this new President's strength of character and the charisma which will help to lead the American people out of the dull drums we presently are in.

A Bust of Barack Obama is being sculpted as a commemorative symbol of the future leader of U.S.A.

Barack Obama is being inaugerated 44th president of the United States of America this upcoming Tuesday.

To comemorate this historic event we are having Brad Reyes Sculpt a Bust of Barack Obama in the classic pose he is know for. The President Elect's Head is turned up looking to the future which he will boldly be leading us into. This bust of the 44th president to be will surely be a piece of presidential memorabilia to go up in value in the future.


Brad will actually have the master of the Bust of President Elect Obama done by Saturday and the factory will have the mold and production up and running the morning of the inaugeratio.

Take a look at some of the images of the project in process (note the pieces are in rough out phase).












Even though the obama bust is still in the rough out phase, one can see the structure of the bust and plinth will fit in beautifully with our other historical busts, such as shakespeare, Napolean, Mozart....

Unlike other companies renditions this bust of our president to be is a full 13 inches tall and has the classic lines of a plinth that sets it off correctly.

The name Obama appears on the front underneath the edge of his coat.



When this Statuette of Barack Obama is completed it will be a beautiful piece of Inaugeration Memoribilla which will accent the desk or shelf of any Citizen believing in the change our next President hopes to achieve.

The football player table desk is finally done.

It took our artists over a 6 weeks to make the master for the football lineman,
3 weeks to make a mold we can use for plaster and resin.
2 weeks to cast and dry the each lineman pedestals (they each weigh over 200 lbs each).

The pieces came out stunning!!!!

A pair of these NFL / NCAA style Football Players are shown here in our Baroque Bronze Finish under a piece of glass over 9 feet long. These NFL football lineman could actually support a piece of glass much more wide.

Want a pair of NFL football Player Pedestals for your own table or desk? contact us

NCAA / NFL Football Player Table Bases
Are finally completed and ready for finishing....
Armando, Modesto, and Mario did a great job adjusting the statues of football linemen in a 3 point stance done by the artist.

Take a look at the unfinished pieces...

To make sure these football players in 3 point statues would operate well as a table bases, the back were flatten and the helmet was moved down slightly and the arm was moved out a little.

So if your a coach or former football player do not tell us the stance in our statue is slightly off, we know... But to make a tremendous base you need to have some artistic license.

In the next few days I will show you the finished football lineman statue Desk.

Hi

It's Bully Pulpit Time again!

Ok, I was just watching the bail out of the 3 big car companies, and we all realize that the government is not going to be the ones to get us out of the recession!

I call on you in a clear and concise voice to say: "We will not let this economy roll over and kill more American companies!" I ask you to act in our own national interest join hands and save American Businesses.

Now I understand that at your home and place of business you want to freeze spending altogether and not spend at all, But this is a killer to all businesses. Look at it this way: company A does no business with company B and therefore company C gets no business, it creates a domino affect. Then Another Company A goes out of business because it has no business at all and owing money to company B which then has it's troubles paying company C forcing layoffs and less business for everyone. Another Domino effect!!!

I suggest we all adopt the following plan:
1) Don't stop ordering completely and not trying new product, Just put in small orders with a few companies (not allot just a small amount), lets reduce our minimums for our loyal good customers (I have done that this last week).
2) if you owe money to a supplier call them up and say I can't pay you all your money right now but I will make a small payment today towards it. And I will pay you as I go along. This allows them to plan liquidity problems and keeps you in good stead with them for the future.(I have had some of my customers do that)
3) Buy American (do I need to say more?)
4) Let's pass some deals (not liquidation crazy ones) to our clients to allow them to save some money to.

This plan will help stop the domino affect and get us through the bad times.

Alright I'm coming down from my pulpit... until next time....
