CDG Introduces the Artwork of Paul John Ballard

Club owners now have a fantasic source for tasteful, classic  erotic artwork. Cabaret Design Group is now the North American agent for renowned international pinup artist Paul John Ballard. Ballard, of London, has circulated his exclusive pinup artwork throughout Europe for many years. CEO Rick Uzubell has collaborated with Ballard to develop an array of oversized prints, watercolor groupings and original oil paintings and bronze sculptures that are designed to fit your club as well as your budget! Ballard's work, which is very much in the style of the late Alberto Vargas, already appears in several American gentlemen's clubs. In fact, CDG's clients who currently own Ballard's creations are so pleased with his work, they have ordered several times.

Now you can furnish your club or office with some of the most unique artwork the world has to offer!

Tiffany's Cabaret - Buffalo

CDG is proud to announce the official opening of Tiffany's Cabaret in Buffalo, NY. The core of the design effort is a "Glass Club," a combined Showroom and Bar, featuring architectural backlit glass for the stage, bar and backbar. This club has a powerful, yet intimate feeling: you can sense the excitement of the club the moment you enter as it softly glows and changes colors, in CDG's ultra-lounge setting, complemented with a full array of architectural accompaniments and pinup artwork by renowned international artist Paul John Ballard.

This is yet ANOTHER club that has gone through CDG's exclusive design process, performed in its ENTIRETY via web-conferencing and through CDG’s exclusive online e-Folder system. CDG coordinated the design and construction through a multitude of people, including the client, the general contractor and numerous subcontractors and vendors --WE ACTUALLY NEVER SAW THE BUILDING UNTIL THE DAY IT WAS COMPLETED! As part of CDG's service, many bids were solicited, reviewed and negotiated directly with manufacturers and vendors so our client could benefit from avoiding the general contractor's mark-up.

"Rick Uzubell and CDG take a club and turn it into the best-looking club in its market." "Rick Uzubell isn't just a great architect--he is a great commodity to the entire adult nightclub industry."

Club 390: Back-Lit Stage!

The owners of Club 390 wanted to upgrade their satellite stage. They weren't crazy about the one they had "inherited." Owner Chris Carlson saw the "Liquid Fusion" tile at Holo-Walls' booth at last year's EXPO and brought it over to me.
