Anthony Bourdain Tribute | Forbes Meat Co

Several years ago, we painted a mural of Anthony Bourdain for Ten55 Brewing in downtown Tucson. When the brewery closed in 2022, the mural was painted over—a reminder that public art is often temporary. But as fate (and maybe Tony) would have it, Ben Forbes reached out soon after to bring the piece back to life.

We recreated the original mural as a large-format painting, now proudly displayed at the new Forbes Meat Co location. We're honored that Ben connected so deeply with the original work and wanted to preserve it in a more permanent form.

This project also gave us a rare opportunity to dive into realism—something we don’t often get to explore in our commercial work, but truly love.

Stop by Forbes Meat Co to see it in person. And if you're dreaming up custom artwork for your space, we’d love to hear from you.
