Ostriches on Broadway anyone? Eye Candy Graphics has moved to 2244 Broadway from their old studio space on Curtis and their “front yard” is now a unique but tiny urban oasis complete with AstroTurf and an eight-foot tall metal ostrich.
I’m told the bird is the company mascot. Don’t ask why; looks mean to me. The company moved just a few blocks from 2347 Curtis but inadvertently chose a rather iffy time for the move. Moving day, Dec. 20, was the start of Denver’s long freeze and snow season.

Eye Candy’s work portfolio includes animated graphics, large signs, banners and trade show booths. The Cherry Creek Shopping Center and Qwest are two of their clients.
