Denver Neighborhood Seed Company artwork changing with the city...

December 9, 2015 Kenny Be
The Lincoln Park Asparagus (La Alma Supreme Crowns) artwork was redrawn to reflect the redevelopment of the neighborhood.

The Lincoln Park Asparagus (La Alma Supreme Crowns) artwork was redrawn to reflect the redevelopment of the neighborhood.

When drawing the original Lincoln Park Asparagus image for the Denver Neighborhood Seed Company project in 2011, I included the South Lincoln Homes in the foreground. Light industry separates the housing project from the Xcel Zuni Generation station that sits on the the South Platte River, the neighborhoods western border.

Affectionately referred to as "The Reds" by residents, the 278 housing units of the South Lincoln Homes were demolished in 2013 and are being replaced with 900 units of new apartments. To draw the updated image, I surrounded the newer densely packed apartment blocks with the lovely older homes that make the Lincoln Park neighborhood so special.

Colorado Picture Map inspiration from 1965 to 1976

July 30, 2015 Kenny Be
The Coors Colorado souvenir placemat map from September 1976.

The Coors Colorado souvenir placemat map from September 1976.

Back before corporate chains and the craft food movement, every Colorado town had a cafe (or two) that offered "a home cooked meal." All were different in decor, staff and food quality, but (if beer was served), all featured the ubiquitous Coors Colorado souvenir placemat map.

The Coors souvenir placemat map of Colorado was my favorite part of dining out. I probably learned more about the history and commerce of the state from these placemats than I did in school.

When the Colorado Tourism Office called in July 2014 to ask if I would be interested in illustrating a Colorado picture map, I jumped at the chance to draw the placemat of my dreams!
