Before n' After

This is a great example of what a decent frame and mat job can do to a piece. This print is done by Denver artist, Michael Scarano. This one was done for the Art Crank 2009, a really cool art show focusing on bicycles, art, music, and beer. Art Crank 2010 just passed by, google Art Crank for more info.

The silver frame and mat are a great match. 

Finished:

Needed to get these posted. Some really slick looking pieces, ready to shine in D.C.

This My Morning Jacket piece had some nice metallic brass inks in it, so I found a metallic mat to match, and bring out that aspect in this technical print. Too cool. 

This Phish one, however, is staying in Denver:

I really enjoyed doing this one. We went with the tickets above and below the piece, which gave it a long slim look. Also, there is a nice silver mat in there to bring out the metallic inks in the print itself. I am into the Methane Studios posters, check em out especially if you like Dave Matthews Band. They have been commissioned by DMB for the last few tours.

Artist Interview: Branden Otto

I want to take the time to introduce an artist that will be at the Mile High Poster Expo this year, Branden Otto. I recently came across his posters, and really wanted to learn more about him, so I looked him up!  
Thank you again Branden for your time, maybe we can get an Elway poster for Broomfield? You know that guy rules this town.
Brandon has some amazing talent, coming up with some very original designs for Phish's Summer Tours.He really knows how to lay down some inks, and I cannot see what he comes up with next. If you see Branden out there this fall, say hello and get a print! You can also support him by following his blog - Branden Otto Art

Private Showings Available

I want to let the readers know about a really special opportunity to get their hands on some vintage rock memorabilia. I have a friend that is in town until September 20th or so, that has a very nice poster/handbill/memorabilia collection that he sells on occasion. Now is that occasion, and if you went to the Psychedelic Experience at the Denver Art Museum, you will recognize a lot of these posters, and artists. I am now the proud owner of 5 Mosocos , 2 Griffens and a total of 6 Family Dog Denver production works. If you'd like to set up a showing, look at pictures, and hear some great stories, click the "read more" link below. Thank you!

Neu Projects:

I am pressing a couple more posters today, they are My Morning Jacket posters from two awesome Denver performances.

Stay tuned, these frames will be finished tomorrow likely. The owner is moving to D.C. and he wanted some souvenirs from his days in Denver. Nice souvenir I must say!

Denver Collectors/Fans: Put these on your calendar

I saw these poster shows were happening soon and I wanted to give you Colorado fans a heads up about it. It sure looks like its going to be a fun time, I'll see you all there!

I'm really going to make the push to get a booth at this thing. It should be an excellent convention, especially seeing that the Mile High Poster Expo is going to be happening when Phish is in Broomfield. 

Finished:

Glad to finally have these done and hanging on my wall, both of them are simple and although I did intentionally do that, I went a stronger route with the materials actually used. They both are done in a museum quality ragmat, and both have museum glass. They look sharp and classy.

Stay Classy Denver
