Artist's Resume: MTFuller
MTFuller is an environmental graphic designer and creator of art works for a wide variety
of applications. Established in West Palm Beach since 1986, Mark Fuller provides professional
design, fabrication, and production services.
Primarily oriented towards designing identity elements to create a sense of place, Fuller's
experience includes urban street furniture such as seating elements, bollards, lighting
fixtures, tree grates, telephone kiosks, and graphic images on sound barriers along
Interstate 95. His Art In Public Places installations have included kinetic constructions,
compression - tension cable structures, and static free - standing elements. His works have
been referenced by a spokesperson for the National Endowment For The Arts as "a good
example of what public art should be ".
Experience with and accessability to high -tech fabrication methods and finishing technology
allow him to effectively determine appropriate production methods to accommodate budget,
schedule, and function requirements. His projects often incorporate diverse fabrication
methods utilizing polymer -based mouldings, cast stone fabrications, specialized epoxy -
polyester hybrid coatings, and aero-space quality precision metal fabrications. Immediate
access to state- of- the-art industrial lasers, CNC computerized machining, and large format
image reproduction has enhanced MTFullel's ability to streamlining the process from concept
to reality.
Fluent in digital technology, MTFuller utilizes an array of powerful Macintosh and
PowerComputing platforms for pre - production 3D modeling and imaging. Expertise in
programs such as PhotoShop, Raydream, Lightwave, and POV -Ray / Persistance of Vision
enables photo - realistic monitoring of designs from conceptual design throughout the final
design phases.

1. Deposit of funds. The developer shall submit documentation to the city
showing that a deposit was made with the developer's attorney into an
escrow account in an amount of money equal to the art fee prior to the

the city documentation of the withdrawals for payment of art fees in
accordance with the terms of the contract between the developer and the
artist or artists, or the developer's arts consultants. The developer and/or
the developer's attorney will provide the city a final written certification and
accounting of the payment of art and consulting fees at the conclusion of the
placement of artwork. This certification shall be provided in a manner
acceptable to the city.
2. Surplus balance. Any surplus balance existing in the escrow accounts after
the developer has installed the required artwork shall be collected by the
city. The surplus balance shall be held in a segregated, interest- bearing fund
(the "art impact fund "), and shall be used for the provision of additional art
work at the construction site or another site within the city. Use of such
funds shall be determined by the city council, following a recommendation
by the art in public places advisory board, and shall be in accordance with
further provisions of this division.

ownership in artwork purchased by the developer. The artist shall be
allowed to act as the art consultant for the art petition, but shall be
precluded from receiving the art consultant fee.

certificate of occupancy for a project, the developer shall submit a revised
construction cost certification. If the final cost of the vertical construction for
the entire project is higher than the cost figure used to calculate the
preliminary art budget, the art budget shall be increased as necessary to
equal one percent of the actual defined total vertical construction cost for the
project. The art budget shall be revised within 30 calendar days of any such
changes. The increase in the art budget due to the final increase of the
5upp. No. 21 CD78:222
L, LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS § 78.261
vertical construction cost for the entire project shall be placed in the city art
impact fund, or shall be used for the provision of art on site, at the option of
the developer.
6. Appraisal. To establish the value of art submitted to comply with this
division, the city may employ an independent art appraiser to provide a
written appraisal of the art submitted. Such appraisal will be paid for by the
developer as part of the overall art contribution.

the property owner, and shall be insured and maintained in good condition
at all tunes as determined by the city's code enforcement official. Mainte-
nance shall include any associated landscaping or related improvements.

and charge the owner the cost of such maintenance, including cost of
collection, interest, and attorney's fees.
8. Unless an alternative deadline is established in a development order, or a
time extension is granted by the growth management administrator, no
certificate of occupancy for the project shall be issued until the artwork is
installed and the final certification and accounting of the payment of the
escrow fees has been provided. Artwork installed in accordance with this
IL; division cannot be altered or removed from the site without approval of the
city council.

license to reproduce and distribute two- dimensional reproductions of the
artwork for city- related purposes, and grant to the city the exclusive
irrevocable ownership rights in any trademark, service mark, or trade dress
rights regarding the artwork, pursuant to a license that shall be approved
by the city attorney. City approval of the artwork shall be deemed to be a
grant of the artist for authorization by third parties to review and reproduce
documents provided by the artist to the city which are deemed to be public
records pursuant to public record laws of the state. The city shall also have
the option of referring to the name and title of the artist and artwork in
reproductions.

of the developer, with new artwork pursuant to this article, or the existing
artwork may remain on the site. In the latter case, the value of the existing
artwork and its placement must comply with this article as if it were new
artwork.
b. Fee in lieu of artwork. Instead of providing artwork on the project site, a developer

exotics, shall not be considered as the sole factor for credit.
