But most of our digital printing work is for artists who are reproducing their artwork for sale. This week, we had a very exciting opportunity to work on a special project with one of our favorite clients, photographer Julia Blaukopf.
In case you don't know, Stephen Starr is one of the premier restauranteurs in Philadelphia. The Continental, Buddakan, Morimoto, El Rey.... they just keep coming. This summer, Starr is bringing a different kind of restaurant to Philadelphia. His series of Pop-UP restaurants, which open for three days only, team up the Starr name with chefs from other great spots in the city.
This week was Kanella, with chef Konstantinos Pitsillides. Friend-of-the-store Julia, who is a world traveler and has been to Pitsillides home-country of Greece, was chosen to be featured for the artwork to fill the space! Julia approached us with some ideas for the images she wanted, and we worked closely with her to see them come to life.
This image hung on the back wall of the restaurant. It measured over five feet wide, making it a true backdrop for the food being served. Here's another view of it:
Julia also wanted to showcase some pieces that represent her love of using different materials. Luckily, there were some windows that could use a little covering, and they afforded us a perfect opportunity. She chose three more images, and we printed them on vellum. This gave a dreamy quality to the prints, allowing some of the outside light to come in.
You don't have to be a professional artist to have us work with you! We can help you design looks similar to this for your home, showcasing a favorite travel picture, family portrait or, well, almost anything you can dream up!
