Blindman Brewing
Mural, Building Signage & Interior Artwork
Artist AJA Louden and I celebrated the diversity of flavours in Blindman beers for this bold mural, Alchemy of Flavour. Complete with our design for a massive backlit sign, hand-painted letters and taproom artworks, we transformed the face of the building into a visual landmark for one of Canada’s best craft breweries.

Creating this mural during the pandemic meant we illustrated, designed and painted our artwork to exterior panels in our shared studio—then shipped and installed at the Brewery in Lacombe, Alberta. We were welcomed back for a launch and artist’s talk. Thanks to all the good people at Blindman for their energy and welcoming spirit.
