Here’s a lovely project I worked on earlier this year; branding for Curl Coffee and book shop in the Badaro neighbourhood of Beirut, Lebanon.
I was commissioned by founder and owner, Nisrine, to try to capture the beautiful exterior, interior and clientele of the shop. Working with architectural and design plans, I was thrilled to create the artwork and watch as the shop came together in real time.
My illustrations were used as a mural inside, on POS branding and on various products available in the store.
Every small detail was so carefully thought through by Nisrine, including the community ‘take a book, leave a book’ library, hanging from the tree outside. I particularly enjoyed illustrating Nisrine’s two wonderful dogs!
I really hope to visit Beirut and the shop on my travels in the near future! Thanks to Nisrine and my agents at The Artworks.
