Nashville locals know that there’s only one place to get locally made, bean-to-bar chocolate – Olive & Sinclair Chocolate Co. They are widely praised and, more and more, widely distributed, at least in the Nashville area. And like a lot of local businesses, they have some great art. The large mural was done up as an old-fashioned sign, which fits with their grinding techniques that go back to the early 1900s. It also fits with the history of the building as a furniture maker for many years and before that an H. G. Hill grocery store, a local chain dating back a century that has since largely become a real estate company, tuning their old properties into gold. The mural was designed by Sideshow Sign Co. , whose principal designers are Luke Stockdale and Madeline Westfall, and it was produced by Telicia Lee. Sideshow has designed a lot of signs Nashvillians would be familiar with, such as the CMT sign and the signage for Barista Parlor. Lee’s work is primarily cloth backdrops for photoshoots, and on her Instagram account, you can see a lot of celebrity photos taken in front of her backdrops (and plenty of regular civilians as well). Sideshow is also responsible for the rest of Olive & Sinclair’s branding, such as their signs and their iconic chocolate bar wrappings. The wall with the main mural is also home to a @forbecks Lego Man (It’s to the left of the mural above – see below). Olive & Sinclair is also in the habit of decorating their windows. I’ve included a few examples below, in a couple of which you can see your intrepid blogger’s reflection. I can not recommend Olive & Sinclair enough. If you live in Nashville, you probably already know. If you don’t, put it on your list for your next visit.
