Photograph of the Cincinnati Skyline to Inspire Next Painting

Posted on December 10, 2014 by jefferyjohns

Great news! Just received a request for another commissioned painting of the beautiful Cincinnati skyline. The client knew exactly what they wanted, and as we began to talk the best way to truly bring to life their vision was to meet in front of the city and capture the idea. After a taking few photos, some smiles and a high five we quickly aligned on this reference visual to inspire the next Cincinnati painting.

Stay tuned for the progress, there will be a 30″ x 40″ acrylic on canvas painting inspired by this photo. Enjoy!

Really excited to have had the opportunity to design the latest album from Plastic Ants, titled Falling to Rise. Some of the highlights are the beautiful clouds on the gatefold-sleeve, to the crystal clear vinyl with the simple plane graphics along with the striking visual used on the front cover.

Since it’s launch the album design has been getting some good press. You can read a write up by Fred Mills at Blurt magazine here.
