Wrapping the company van and my PT cruiser through Muralpop was a great decision! We've done billboards on I-75 that have not generated more calls and interest than the two car wraps. In fact, the very first day the wrapped vehicles were parked outside our showroom, they generated a sale. Michael worked directly with us from the beginning, and he did a great job from the design phase through installation, and Muralpop's pricing was very competitive. Jason B. Monday General Manager

Dear Mural Pop, I have a children's gift shop in Oldenburg, IN named Christian's Kinder Laden. I have recently had the pleasure of doing business with MuralPop. The design work and marketing signs that you made for me have actually been responsible for doubling the volume of customers for my business during this holiday season. Keep up the great work. I will look forward to doing business with you again in the very near future. Sincerely, Deb Enneking Christian's Kinder Laden 812-932-3322 www.christianskinderladen.com

MuralPop,

We recommend MuralPop & plan to do business with them in the future…

Mr. Burns www.Muralpop.com
Dear Michael,
On behalf of the City of Covington and the Art-Off-Pike Committee, I want to thank you for your role in making this second annual event a success. It takes a lot time and many contributions from individuals like to make this community-building event happen. The number of people attending the Opening Reception tripled from last year and the number of people attending the open-air art show increased significantly as well. This is an event that will continue to grow each year as more people learn about it and the number of special offerings increases. As the community continues to support the growth of arts and cultural offerings in the City of Covington, we hope that you will continue to support Art-Off-Pike.
Again, thank you for your participation. Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern:
As the Superintendent of the City’s General Fund Facilities, and representative of the City of Cincinnati. I am please to proffer this letter of recommendation for the services Mr. Michael Burns donated to the Tyler Davidson Fountain project. Mr. Michael Burns, Graphic Designer, demonstrated the highest level of civic pride when he donated graphic creativity, design, and expertise for the mural design placed on the barricade of the Tyler Davidson Fountain. The Tyler Davidson Fountain is treasured as one of Cincinnati’s most prominent landmarks, and serves as a unique symbol to the citizens of the region. The scope of the project was extremely challenging and was indirectly driven by the voluminous media coverage within the region. Moreover, Councilmember Todd Portune was so delighted and impressed with Mr. Burns’ design, Council member Portune scheduled a press conference to showcase his design to the citizens. Now that’s appreciation! Mr. Burns has been a gentleman to work with, and the City of Cincinnati appreciated the fact that the design exceeded the expectations established by the region. Please consider this communication as my offer entertains questions in regard to this project in the future. If my consultation is ever needed, I can be reached at (513) 352-3311. Sincerely, Willie F. Carden Jr. Superintendent of Facility Management

To be acquainted with well known and well respected local artist, Michael Burns, is to be familiar with an extensive and impressive body of work. His portfolio includes, but is not limited to; fine art on canvas, wall and floor murals, custom faux painting, pottery and graphic design including vehicle wrapping. In my new home, I was fortunate enough to have him do a somewhat whimsical painting in my hall powder room. Using my color scheme, he painted a custom faux finish that has given new life to that room. I have received many compliments on the finish and it has livened up an otherwise dull bathroom. As a dog lover and owner of 3 Jack Russells, Michael was able to capture perfectly not only their images, but their different personalities in an amazing, oversized canvas that is proudly displayed in my home office. Michael Burns has great vision and a keen eye for what works and what doesn't. He listens carefully to what his client Thankyou, Michele Borison

Dear Sir, I would like to commend both Mike and Jill of muralpop graphic design deparment on their professional and courteous manner. Several weeks ago I asked Mike to print a resume from a disk that I had produced by a typing service. Unfortunately, the material provided was not compatible with your systems. I feel confident that Mike used his best efforts to make it work however as is often the case with computer generated materials, there was just no way to produce a satisfactory end product. The decision was then made to send the resume to your Blue Ash facilities to have them produce a new master on disk…this is where the difficulties started. I will not go into the gyrations caused by unmet promises and what would appeared to be blatantly untrue responses given by them to Mike’s request for the status of the job. But I would like to say that the people on your end performed in a way that any service oriented company would be proud of.
