DISNEY CONCRETE TEXTURES & VERTICAL CREATIONS

Hi Im Jody Smith Owner/Artisan of Overlay Solutions, LLC a decorative concrete company based out of Summerville, SC. I wanted to share with my fellow concrete artisans some of the creations and concrete textures from Disney World in Orlando Florida.

I use many different types of pictures and videos for reference to help my skills in this industry. I am a proud member and subscriber of the Vertical Artisans Forum and training site. The sites were created by Artisan Nathan Giffin of Creative Rock Forming, LLC. This site is dedicated to teaching the tricks of the trade and giving subscribers an inside look at the methods, styles and techniques of vertical decorative concrete. I enjoy seeing all of the pure talent and drive associated with the forum.

I highly recommend you check it out at http://www.verticalartisans.com/ if you enjoy the art of themed environments and vertical decorative concrete.

There are artisans on the Vertical Artisan Forum that create some of the most realistic replications of themed concepts that I have even seen, some even better then Disney.

My family and I visit Disney's Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and MGM Studios every year. We enjoy all the rides, parades, food, fireworks and all of attractions of the Disney Theme Parks. Our past visit we stayed at the all star music resort and rode the Disney Bus & Monorail to and from the parks. We really enjoyed the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Buzz Light year, Peter Pan, Space Mountain, Lion King Show, Killimanjaro Safari, Back lot studios Lights camera Action stunt show, Expedition Everest, Tower of Terror, Rock n Roll roller coaster, Fantasmic ,Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Playhouse Disney, Disney's Mission Space, Test Track, just to name a few.

Thank You Disney for all of the endless excitement & magic that you bring to so many people!

Vertical Stone Facing is an art form, with no limitations in creation. It is becoming extremely popular because of the endless possibilities that can be achieved in texture, coloration, size, shape and stone style. Manufactured products just can not give our clients the versatility that true hand carved stone simulations can produce. There are no stamp sets that can create the true realism that Overlay Solutions can achieve by the many advanced techniques used on our projects. Jody Smith Owner/Artisan of Overlay Solutions has been trained in this art form by the best in the industry. Smith has searched for the best training, products and tools that the industry has to offer. To help in his quest and efforts to create one of a kind works of art and illusions on each and everyone of his projects. Smith has realized that not just everyone can carve stone from a hand textured concrete canvas. It takes countless hours of practice and precision to turn faux into a the illusion of true reality that satisfies his client's visions & dreams.

In the last few years homeowners, architects and designers are becoming more aware of what is becoming a mainstream decorative concrete phenomenon. Vertical Stone facing can offer so much more for the home or business then boxes of factory made stick on stone. You can do so much to the interior & exterior of your home or business, interior walls, refurbish fireplaces, hot tub surrounds, outdoor grilling islands, exterior hardscapes and much more.

Overlay Solutions adds the extras to our creations such as intricate details, quality products, shadow painting, 3D lichens, stunning minerals, real geode inserts, and authentic amethyst clusters. In the starting stages of Overlay Solutions adventure in stone facing they had to make a decision on fast production or perfection and Smith choose perfection for his business. "Yes stamping and other stick and go methods are a lot faster until you see the finished product that lacks the intricate details of hand carving.

The faster the production the quicker you reach that threshold that rest between the caliber of quality and scanty performance. I want to build a name for myself the same way any artist produces art, one distinguished piece at a time" Smith Says.
