Mt. Arlington, NJ (November 15, 2010) – Mars Retail Group announced today a new licensing agreement with Ralph Sutton Designs, LLC, a developer of three-dimensional framed artwork products. As a Mars licensee, Ralph Sutton Designs will take original pieces of art and photographs depicting the popular M&M’S® characters to create one-of-a-kind artwork that comes to life on the frame. Mr. Sutton uses a patented three-dimensional layering process that gives the artwork motion to create his unique products. The framed artwork will be available through retailers and will range in price from $8.99-$29.99.

“Our collaboration with Ralph Sutton Designs gives consumers a new and unique product line that is unlike anything else we’ve offered in the marketplace,” says John Capizzi, general manager of licensing for Mars Retail Group. “Mr. Sutton has captured the individual personalities of the M&M’S® Characters and has brought them to life in a way that fans and collectors will find irresistible.”

“Everyone who sees Ralph Sutton’s work simply says, ‘WOW, how does he do it? I have never seen anything like it, where can I buy it,’” says Fred Wynne, CEO of Ralph Sutton Designs. “That is the comment we always receive upon presenting Ralph’s work.”

Headquartered in Hilton Head Island, S.C., Ralph Sutton Designs has developed an extensive range of retail, commercial and promotional three-dimensional framed artwork products. Each is individually created offering an effective alternative to traditional framed art. Artwork is manufactured using a patented process of interpreting a piece of art or photograph using computer aided design (CAD). The company’s products are evident through other licensing agreements, including The Coca- Cola Company, King Features and Hilton Head’s Sea Pines Resort.
