NYC Empire State Building - vinyl on square wood block

The world famous empire state building where King Kong himself once took his damsel. This image was converted from a photo that I took on a vacation in June 2012. Now living here we get to see this almost daily and what an amazing site it is every time. It's one of the largest most recognizable buildings in New York's skyline. 

A lot of people have asked us about our process, which makes sense as very few people do this kind of work with vinyl! Here's how each of our pieces breaks down:

1. Take photo (either photographed by us or supplied by client or guest photographer)
2. Create contrasted image with software
3. Import processed image into plotter software
4. Cut with computerized blade on plotter
5. Weed out negative spaces with tiny hooks/blades
6. Layer various colors together
7. Apply to wood block or other substrate
8. Coat with sealer
9. Ship / deliver to client!
