In this episode of Bean to Barstool Bite Sized we hear from Annabelle Popa, an artist and graphic designer who has created many of the eye catching labels for Rabid Brewing in the south suburbs of Chicago. When you enter Rabid’s taproom, you’re greeted by an enormous 9'x16' mural hanging over the bar that depicts a fanciful scene telling a mythological version of beer’s origin story. Annabelle painted that mural, and here she talks about the creation process for that and the creative give and take of designing beer labels. You can listen to a longer interview with Annabelle, as well as an interview with Rabid founders Raiye Rosado and Tobias Cichon, here. Annabelle Popa is a freelance Illustrator and muralist living in the Hudson Valley. Growing up in Queens and having a lack of the natural world instilled an incessant longing for magic, nature, and tall tales. Creating comics, murals, paintings, and costumes is her outlet to weave personal mythologies together and reach undiscovered worlds. Gaze long into the work but take care - they gaze back.
