What I've Been Up To Part 2
Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park is one of the great treasures in the Cincinnati area. The rolling hillsides festooned with monumental sculptures are the brainchild of (and a gift from) the wise and charming Harry Wilks. If you haven't been there, you're really missing a treat. It's about 30 minutes north of Cincinnati off of Route 27, about halfway to Miami University.
This fall Pyramid Hill will host its 4th annual Art Fair, a perfect autumn lark. I've done the posters for all of the fairs, and I like this one best. (Actually you're seeing the raw elements, just completed last night -- the designer hasn't had a chance yet to pull the complete poster together.)

Post a Comment*Your first poster, which I saw only as an postcard ad for the festival, was my 1st exposure to the fact we even have a sculpture park in the area! I went, loved it, took friends the next year, they loved it...we've all joined!!! I agree...this year's hot of the press poster is super! Keep up the always excellent work (although I don't agree politically, your work is still superb!!!) Judi
Very nice!
Do you color your own work?
We love Pyramid Hill!
Got married there almost 6 years ago in October. We try to return whenever we're in town. What a beautiful spot...and you can't beat the Christmas lights tour.
Thanks for your work for them.
Are your posters four-color process?
Is that how they're printed?
Very nice imagery and playfulness!
Regarding color: I color my editorial cartoons for our Sunday Forum section and I colored these posters, yes. I draw the linework traditionally and scan the images into Photoshop. Increasingly, I edit and shift the linework around digitally, too.
I have coloring help on Zits Sundays, and all the coloring of Zits dailies (which run in color here and there) is done by a very gifted colorist in California. I color the book and calendar covers and special art created for various purposes myself.
I don't know how to answer the production question. I deliver the colored images on a CD to the organization at a high resolution (800-1200 dpi) and they typically carry them forward through production, as this is pro bono work. The Pyramid Hill posters especially have turned out beautifully over the years.
