about.

Presenting an eclectic collection of images derived from etchings, lithographs, photographs and drawings digitally remastered, restored and re introduced in a wide variety of color & style in an effort to pay homage to the artists who's work is foundational to  art in the 21st century.

About These Works

The works presented here are derived from the Northern Zephyr Collection. Encompassing Art & Architecture in many forms from the 17th through the 20th century. These derivatives are from glass plate negatives, etchings, engravings, woodcuts, lithographs, 70mm film ( experimented with in the early 1920's), contact prints, glass slides, drawings, watercolors and paintings.

This body of work was done in a passion to re-introduce years of artworks originally delivered to the public in small, sometimes tiny black & white images.

The Process

The foundation of these works presented are curated from thousands of collected images, selected for the graphic impact in reflection of the original artist and/or original moment. From that beginning image, an extremely high resolution photograph was taken, followed by a restoration of that image. 

The Experiment

To pursue the vision color and style I did create over 100 digital paintings, all geometric with pallets of  Colors as a foundation to transform the Black & White images into my sense of impact color; That in combination with multitudes of digital adjustments and layers of various applied paintings married into the original, actually, 1000's of experiments and a few years of work, these "Collections" are the result.

A Note

While I was in this process, the internet lit up with AI, and automations of AI to create images. To be brief, right or wrong, I did not go there. I have found it to be challenging enough to not know how something was going to come out (in my one step at a time) digital process. Not knowing the actual result until the ink hit the paper. This is digital art by my eye, not AI.
