"A Real Art Show"

In October we opened up our doors for a one-night only art show titled, "A Real Art Show," showcasing work by 7 artists creating anywhere from painting and photography to functional furniture pieces. Some local, yet some artists traveled from afar to be a part of the exhibition. We had a great turnout and thank all of you who attended!

Flip Corona

This was a fascinating shoot with Corona because we were all introduced to special effects artist, Barry, from California. It was such a pleasure working with Barry and learning new techniques as well as hearing so many interesting stories about his career.

Extra, Extra!

Maes Studio was introduced to the Wrigley brand this summer and we all had the chance to chew a variety of flavors of gum. Our taste buds were in for a treat.

Mickey D's!

In July Maes Studio had the opportunity to shoot a variety of McDonald's jobs - each providing different ideas creatively as well as new challenges to accomplish. Thank you to everyone involved.

Backyard BBQ, directed by Michael Maes

After intensive planning and a crew of about 35 people, we produced and directed a backyard BBQ in Barrington Hills for our new film reel. We couldn't be more happy with the footage we shot, and look forward to debuting this on our website soon. Please stay tuned.

Our Last Summer Happy Hour!

Our last Happy Hour was a success! We started the party with a 30x40 blank canvas, and ended with a beautiful piece of art. Thank you all who made it and contributed to our new painting that now hangs in the studio. Stay tuned for upcoming events!

Sliders!

Team Maes accomplished a successful shoot for White Castle recently. We shot breakfast sandwiches and platters that you couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the smell!
