By Linda Butler Greg Overton's artwork is of extraordinary proportions. With bottles of neon-colored spray paint as his palate and 6,000 square foot of plywood as his canvas, can-vas, Overton has created a huge array of dragons and demons to delight and terrify terri-fy visitors to Nightmare Mansion's 3-D maze. The mural is impressive enough by daylight, but put on 3-D glasses and view it at night and the monsters seem to crawl off the walls and approach unwary visitors. visi-tors. That's just the effect Overton wants. There's a lot of motion and energy in my art," said Overton. "I want it scary without making it evil." Overton transfers much of his motion and energy into his art as he creates. He's fast. He doesn't pen cil in a preliminary sketch, he seems to see those monsters mon-sters and dragons on the wall and with sweeping fluid motions, he air-brushes them to life. He's spent about 40 hours painting his 6,000 sq. ft. work at Nightmare Mansion. Overton has painted black light three-dimensional art for about five years. He's trained with people from Disney and with Stuart Stu-art Smith, one of the top 3-D 3-D painters in the world. Overton recently completed com-pleted a huge Halloween mural for a spook alley in Hong Kong's Ocean World. The paintings were based on Japanese legends and ghost stories. "It's their biggest, first-ever first-ever Halloween attraction," said Overton. Similar Halloween hauntings have been created creat-ed by Overton in several Salt Lake City haunted houses, including Rocky Point, Castle of Chaos, and Nightmare on 13th Street. Three-dimensional artwork art-work is just one part of Greg Overton's repertoire it's essentially his "summer "sum-mer job." During the rest of the year, Overton paints in oils; Native American art is his specialty. Much of Overton's art can be viewed on his Web site www.gregoverton.com.
