Vacaville Museum
Over the past year, I have contributed graphics and illustrations to the Vacaville Museum for two of its exhibits: Curious Collections and, most recently, Art of Death
Art of Death
An exhibit dedicated to exploring the culture, science, and art surrounding death, I contributed illustrations for walls, plaques, and section banners. While only one banner is depicted here, the other illustrations I provided featured on each of the banners that introduced the other segments of the exhibit.
Featured on the wall was a display dedicated to popular headstone shapes and iconographies, where I was directed to depict each with simple lines and shading. A total of 17 illustrations made up this collection.
A vintage "wake room" display was pieced together with loans to the exhibit from local funeral homes, and I was tasked with creating an illustration of the room to serve as a base for a directional guide to the artifacts. Additionally, one of the visuals I created for the section banners was made into a temporary tattoo for the museum's gift shop.
Curious Collections
This exhibit featured the most curious of the museum's archived artifacts from their many showcases. One of their most valuable pieces was a mastodon fossil, and they reached out to me for a full-scale mural to place alongside the display case for visitor's to size themselves up against.
