1AM Art Studio As A Collaboration Form Of Art San Francisco, California
1AM, being a graffiti and street art gallery since 2008, is passionate about making graffiti and street art accessible through custom murals as a way of visually telling the story of your brand and/or evoking a feeling with art. We specialize in interior and exterior graffiti, street art, and urban contemporary murals for offices, residential homes, brand campaigns, interior designers, building owners, architects, art consultants, retail businesses, restaurants, event planners, schools, and live painting at events. While we hand paint our custom murals with brush and spray paint, we can create more depth using our custom digital wallpaper printer and vinyl decal cutter for a mixed media project.

Churchill Bar Mural, by 1AM Art Studio, As A Collaboration Form Of Art, San Francisco, California

Churchill serves up straightforward, world-class cocktails in a space that recalls WWII-era bars and canteens. If a well-traveled diplomat needed a stiff drink during his stopover in San Francisco during the 1940s, we like to think this would be his favorite watering hole. We've mixed vintage fixtures, raw and reclaimed materials with modern accents to create an atmosphere of unpretentious sophistication: Yes, our bar is handcrafted from a single slab of walnut. No, we don't expect you to be gentle with it.[from churchill bar website]
