This attention-grabbing holiday window display recently created by Scottish artist Craig Black for this Vans (Anaheim, Calif.) store in Glasgow, U.K., features large “acrylic fusion inspired” baubles made to resemble trippy Christmas ornaments.
To create the ornament’s futuristic look, Black poured differently colored layers of acrylic paint onto spheres, allowing the colors to flow and drip down, ultimately lending a marble-like look. The window’s design is topped off with a hand-painted geometric line mural that runs across the bottom of the windowpanes, as well as bespoke lettering spelling out “Vans-tastic.”
Founded in 1966 in Anaheim, Calif., Vans is most known for its skateboarding shoes and apparel featuring unusual designs and patterns. Holding true to the creativity and uniqueness of the Vans brand, Black’s Christmas windows didn’t disappoint.
