Anamorphic Alley

Never odd or even. A palindrome and a playful nod to the fact that while you can read the phrase both backwards and forwards, on this mural you can only read it from one specific perspective.

The goal of the project was to make the Commercial Street Alley more inviting as a pedestrian path, location for monthly markets, and local businesses. The client required an anamorphic design and requested a typographic element. Annabelle and I each gave each other a prompt to illustrate a design with the goal that if one design were chosen, we’d execute it together. I illustrated this design, Annabelle and I finished it as a team.

“Artivem” is formed from the Latin words Artis (Art) and Avem (Bird). Artivem Mead Co. is an artisan meadery founded in Bellingham, WA.

—
Annabelle and I were invited to create a set of murals for Artivem in 2020. Our designs needed to be flexible; ideally a system of illustrations featuring regional flora and fauna to support the brand’s connection to wildlife and community.

Annabelle created the initial system of illustrations, I arranged layouts and color palettes. We combined them into a number of small scenes to be painted as budget and time permitted. In the end, we painted a forest theme in the bathroom and perched birds to match the theme of the brand on the iconic, windowed storefront.
