Plum St. Alley
Overview
These clients wanted a cover-up for the graffiti on the side of their home, and requested an unusually delightful range of subject ideas: Tulips, daffodils, red poppies, snapdragons. Frogs, dragons, lizards, bugs, mosquitos, bees, beetles, lightning bugs. (No monkeys! No snakes! No birds!)
Following the trail of the dragon, I learned that Sabrina’s father had told her stories of Springdale the Dragon while she was growing up. He ate tulips (red to breathe fire, purple otherwise) and lived in a windmill and was friends with the three Watchfrogs.
This design pays homage to those stories in a playful surprise for the many folks who stroll through this alley to get to the nearby market or walk their kids around the block to the park. Springdale dreams of critters and flowers curling through his smokey breath.
