Nine Dots, who had seen my signal box in Golden, recached out about working on a cool project for Arapahoe Library (Southglenn Library); that project turned into a Colorado-themed library. The library wanted Colorado animals to interact within a fantastical book environment. I knew I wanted to make a beauty forest landscape where thy books as well as the forest is a part of the animals' environment.
Below are some of the initial concept ideas proposed to Southglenn Library. Above is the final sketch we decided on before going into Adobe Illustrator.
