Walnut Ridge Studio offers Fine Artwork, Custom Framing and Technical Illustration.

Generally speaking we have more experience, more education and more common sense than most of our local competitors. We've designed logos back in the 80's and early 90's that are still being used by Quad City businesses today.

We are artists who've been educated in computer graphics and have many, many years of experience. Our knowledge base goes back to darkroom film and quality graphic layouts which are rarely even seen today. We can create custom artwork in many medias.

FACT: You can't buy the talent you'll find at Walnut Ridge Studio, You can however, hire it!

Walnut Ridge Studio began back in 1987 as State-of-The-Art Graphics while Craig Pirmann (artist/Owner) was still working for Deere & Company as a publisher. Craig worked from his home doing mainly hand painted and drawn graphics, like mapping, technical illustration work, hand painted signs, and even some custom framing. In 1992 Craig left Deere to develop his own company and fulfill his destiny of being an independant artist and graphic designer.

The business flourished during the 90's with Craig's artistic talent, vast experience and education in graphics.

Many companies struggled with the new technologies of computers and Craig was right there to help get them through it. State-of-The-Art Graphics was able to bridge the old with the new and maintain sanity.

Craig had traveled from one end of this country to the other during the 80's doing research and development for Deere. He was able to get a glimpse of the future and he embraced what others fought. In doing so he built a reputation and quickly grew the company into the new millennium.  Anyone can operate a computer but the artistic side is rare. You can't buy talent, you either have it or you don't, Craig has it naturally.
