Punke Inc. "Who would we ever find to do something like that?" http://punke-inc-portfolio.blogspot.com Been at it ever since. Follow the link to my blog/portfolio.

I collaborate with designers, architects, restaurateurs, construction companies, businesses and homeowners who need assistance turning ideas, visions, carefully planned projects or sometimes even bewilderment into beautiful, well crafted finished products. I began doing paint finishes, murals, signage and building custom furniture and art pieces after graduating from art school in the early 80's.

My largest project spanned almost ten years and began when a client needed help with a restaurant concept that he wanted to duplicate. After the second store came a third, a fourth... until I found myself responsible for creating and maintaining the "vibe" and the look of just over 200 stores in many different US markets along with a warehouse/furniture/artifact/signage production facility to support them! Now, I'm again spreading my talents around not knowing what new project or opportunity is around the corner and loving it. It shows only some of the work I have produced and projects that I have been fortunate enough to be involved with over the years. It begins with my most recent projects but I encourage you to dig back a ways. There are some interesting things in there! Contact me at [email protected] with questions, comments and inquiries.

Holy Trinity medallions at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Benson IL. My great-grandfather was a founder of this church at the turn of the century. I was asked to make something to replace the ones painted over last time the wall painted.
They wanted to use money given as memorials for members who had passed, including money given on behalf of my dad who passed in April, 2021. The remainder was from people I also knew growing up there. This was kind of a special project.
