Graham Elliot

NPB Art Studio Studio News exposed brick, faux ghost sign, GE Bistro, Graham Elliot, Graham Elliot Bistro, interior signage

Nancy Pochis Bank Art Studio had fun designing and hand painting this faux ghost sign on the exposed brick walls of Graham Elliot Bistro in downtown Chicago. By choosing vintage fonts and skillfully harnessing the natural brick texture, we achieved the nostalgic old-time aesthetic of a true ghost sign. Thanks to artist Tracee Badway for her excellent help during the painting phase of this project.

Chicago Public Artwork Goes International

In the summer of 2007, “Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet” was launched in Chicago. Nancy Pochis Bank was among an international group of artists selected by the jury to design and create a globe to be displayed in the lakefront exhibit.

Since the start of the "Cool Globes" project, Nancy has created four 5’ globes that have been exhibited across the United States and internationally.

“Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet” is a non-profit organization established to raise awareness of climate change and inspire individuals and community leaders to embrace solutions. The public art exhibit features larger-than-life globes, each designed to depict a solution to global warming.
