The Community Gym

The owner of The Community Gym reached out to me to create some custom murals to decorate their new workout space. We agreed on a visual direction with three words in mind: authentic, grunge, and bad-ass.

I curated contemporary and archived photos together that had references to pop culture and the fitness industry. To unify the various photos, I applied an overall black and white filter and added a halftone texture. With some graphic outlines and flourishes that highlighted certain photos, the final product is the perfect backdrop for any workout class or photo-op moment.

In addition (and as homage to my favourite gym), I illustrated the gym building in a custom framed print piece.
