Stand on the corner of 4th Avenue and A Street in downtown Anchorage and you’ll find a few curious sights. The first is this 2013 mural by Deuel featuring a mechanical moose, strange sea creatures and tilted tree houses. It is on the side of the AK Alchemist coffee shop which is housed in a glass shipping container. Their signage broadcasts their specialties as halibut tacos, salmon quesadillas and reindeer tacos. What do you call this interesting combination? Their Facebook page defines it as “urban city swank and steam punk artistry.” Of course!
