Great Harvest Bread Co. Window!

Size: 3' by 5'


As a volunteer through Summer 2008 with the Allen Street Neighborhood Center's Farmer's Market of Lansing MI, I had the opportunity to meet with many incredible, dedicated vendors from area farms and businesses.

When Great Harvest Bread Company joined the weekly Wednesday fray, I offered to collaborate on new marketing material for their main store; a development the owner had mentioned in conversation.

The building in which the bakery is situated features only one narrow window facing the street, occupied previously by the bare, mechanical backside of a beverage cooler. This piece brought a necessary splash of color the the face of the space, offering a quirky, yet warm invitation to join their wonderful and friendly staff for a mid-day meal!

Zingerman's Deli Boards

Size: 4' by 5'6"

Size: 4' by 5'6"

The boards that started it all. Working in the Zingerman's Deli on red bricked Detroit St. in Ann Arbor, MI, presented me with many challenges common in any high volume unquestionably popular retail environment. Some were less common; for instance, the endless opportunities for personal artistic expression.
After a three to four month dry spell of unchanging, fast fading cheese case chalkboard, I asked the ever available manager if I might do my best to further enliven the already rich visual entry to the store. Having already produced a body of small signs for cases, coffees and bread specials, I drew a yes! Working for and with them was an honor and privilege.

Be sure to pay a visit to the culturally rich city of Ann Arbor MI, and absolutely stop in to experience the treasure of a company that is Zingerman's Delicatessen. Rare are businesses such as this, with impeccable service, creative flair and outstanding commitment to quality and local growth! If the Deli does not suit you, check out the Z. Roadhouse, a full service restaurant or the Creamery, where they make their own Gelato and assorted cheeses.

...And so began the story of my adventures in the world of chalk, where one never gets rusty, only dusty.

Enjoy!
