Artistic Studio in Drumheller

My friend and business partner Frank and I are re-branding our Drumheller company.  We feel that this will more accurately reflect the identity of the company.  We create one-of-a kind artistic creations that are museum displays, natural history exhibits, etc.  This all came about as we looked into purchasing a commercial building and the zoning regulations did not permit industrial plants and manufacturing facilities at this location.  We felt that in order to properly represent our company, and perhaps have an opportunity to occupy this space, we needed to accurately reflect in our name, what we are all about. It remains to be seen how this real estate transaction all plays out.  We have a development application submitted to the local authorities and if we are granted approval, will move forward with the purchase of this property.  Recently I was down in Drumheller carrying out an inspection of this property. While I was there I stopped in at our existing shop and had a look at our most recent project.  This Dinosaur Caricature is a statue that is to be erected in the Town of Drumheller.  It will be at an important intersection, where all the tourists turn off onto the North Dinosaur Trail to head over to the Royal Tyrell Museum of Paleontology.  At the time of this photograph, a couple weeks ago, this guy had not yet been mounted onto the mine cart that would become his perch.  That mine cart is visible in the background of one of these two photos.  The final painting and assembly has since been completed and this guy now resides at that intersection.
