The colors are so fresh and magnificent. I would hang any of his portraits in my home. Here is a glimpse of his work…
Hello. It’s been a moment since I blogged. I miss you all! I wanted to share my latest project with you. My client {Shawn} wanted me to create a custom Hatch Print Show Style poster. For those that don’t know Hatch Print – Hatch printing originated in 1879 in Nashville, TN by William Hatch. Hatch ran the famous print shop – Hatch Show Print. Country musicians to magicians and various rock stars have all turned to Nashville’s historic Hatch Show Print to create amazing showstopping posters. Hatch preserves the art of traditional printing.
I created the same design for my client {Shawn} but varied the options through color. He pretty much left the design totally up to me, but just required the day of the dead skull and an outline of the state of Tennessee. All info and details were provided. Here is a glimpse of the four options I provided for him….
