OVERFLOW BREWING COMPANY
by James Oleson
Within a few blocks of such acclaimed breweries as Green Bench and Cycle, in early 2018 Florida homebrew legend Troy Bledsoe launched St. Pete’s 12th brewery, Overflow Brewing, at 1st Ave N and 8th St. Later in 2018 Overflow turned to local art icon James Oleson to add this mural. Former owner and creative director of the Bloom Art Center, Oleson is constantly drawing in his sketchbook and executing those ideas across a range painting, sculpture, and murals. Street art helps fulfill Oleson’s love of engaging with the public as his work takes viewers on “a journey of imagination and perspective that makes them feel encompassed by a different world”—and I’m told this other-worldly creation for Overflow is in 3D and you can borrow glasses from the tasting room to be fully transported. @olesonart/ @overflowbrewingcompany/
