durham art walk poster spring 2010

I worked with Barclay McConnell over at the Durham Arts Council to produce all the printed materials for the Durham Art Walk including the poster, postcard, Durham Magazine ad, Indy ad, and Herald Sun insert. The design is a color scheme change from last Fall’s design.

This year’s Art Walk (April 17 & 18)  is bigger and better than ever with more artists, more venues, more food, and music. Free parking is available at Golden Belt where I have my studio. We’ll have food vendors and over 43 artists at our building. So start your tour at Golden Belt.

I had a studio visitor turn me on to these last week.  I find no end to my wonder at how human beings have such capacity for visualizing knowledge that is not visible. These stick charts take the cake for me. Beautiful artifacts of a knowledge that is surely lost today…or at least doubtful to make it through to the next generation.

Take a look at a post at The Nonist that shows some graphics and provides a brief explanation.
