"You should be proud of where you live"

Recently I completed a series of illustrations for Jonathan Alpert of Treehouse Brokerage and Development. Jonathan learned of my work through the Modern in Denver Winter edition. I was honored to be asked to work with him on created a collection of artwork for 5 of his properties.

We met at my new favorite neighborhood cafe and restaurant - Black Eye - which happens to be in one of the Treehouse properties that I was asked to illustrate - MOTO -Just down the block from my condo.

I chose to create an illustration that included all 5 structures as a linear collection - with no breaks  in between the individual properties. I think it makes for an interesting, lively composition -as if it is all one building. Because some of the building are residential and others are rather large multi-dwellings, I felt like the best way to manage the differences in size and scale, was to create a cropped visual of each of the buildings. Great too, was that most of projects use similar materials and coloring which helps to unify the finished art.

This was a great project to work on -and for a wonderful company and developer who feels that "Without great design, we do not see the purpose to build".  -which, if you live in Denver right now, is certainly not the prevailing spirit in development (don't get me started!)

Thanks, Jonathan for asking me to work with you on this project! It was a great opportunity to work on a project that includes some of my favorite new Denver residential projects.

These look great! Love how they are all lined up and are individual elements of each building. Very cool.
