Wildflower Pale Ale Chalkboards

NPB Art Studio Studio News Beer signage, Forbidden Root

Remember the brewery signage we created last year for Forbidden Root Brewing Company last year? Last week we created an additional mini chalkboard for their new Wildflower Pale Ale. Like the other boards, these are drawn with china marker for longevity, rather than chalk. The design is a reorganizing of the beer’s label and echoes the WPA artwork of the 1930s and 40s. Thanks to studio artists Elizabeth Ahlem and Lydia Cash for their help with 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.
