The same brushwork goes onto interior glass and acrylic: partitions, screens, stairwell glazing and safety panels. Painted rather than stickered, so the artwork reads as part of the building instead of something applied to it.
This is where visual thinking illustration earns its keep. A drawing carries an instruction, a value or a piece of onboarding faster than a paragraph does, and it keeps working for people who are walking, at a distance, or reading in a second language.
Eleven painted safety panels at Amazon DEN3, Thornton
Eleven clear plexiglass panels, five feet by six, painted over ten days in March 2026. Each one takes a piece of safety training and turns it into a picture: the right PPE for the job, the power zone, testing the weight before you lift, reaching above shoulder level with a ladder, one step at a time on the stairs.
The site's own T-Rex mascot does the demonstrating instead of a generic figure, which is what makes people read a panel they have walked past a hundred times. Painting onto clear panels keeps light and sightlines through the artwork, so the panels sit in the space rather than blocking it.
The client's read afterwards: the painted panels pulled far more attention than the printed sets they replaced, across the thousands of people walking that route every shift.
