July 2008 Archives

July 30, 2008 - Cleveland, Ohio - This new DOUGLAS Art Prints® contemporary art print, the door, is the main entrance door to a beautifully maintained 1930's apartment building that I found while on assignment to shoot some advertising photos of that very building  The Edgeley Manor here in Cleveland, Ohio is truly a piece of historic urban contemporary art.


The front door seemed on it's own as the entrance to the history this building holds.  The owners have carefully maintained this piece of history while others right across the street tore down and built high rises.  I have 3 prints from this building.  I chose the front door as the first.  In my favorite stark black and white it just seemed maybe an entrance to a castle or something.  Like the entrance to 10,000 tales of lives that have come and gone through it.

This is also the first of my prints shown on our new web site, DOUGLAS Art Prints® on Canvas™.  It was a choice of investing the time to change the format on  DOUGLAS Art Prints® on Canvas™ to the new style or invest the time adding this new print.

This print, as are all of our prints, is 100% art gallery archival quality. They will not yellow or fade for over 100 years if displayed properly. The prints are all produced at the time of the order and each print is hand signed and numbered by Douglas.

There are more than 200 original Douglas contemporary art prints to select from. Everything from wine to nudes to Harley Davidsons to barn doors.

July. 19, 2008 - Cleveland Ohio - DOUGLAS Photography Inc. is negotiating a deal with a book publisher to feature Douglas' art photographs in a book.  The book deal served as an inspiration for a new line of photographic art prints in addition to Douglas' current line of limited edition modern/contemporary art prints.

"We are excited by this opportunity," Douglas, owner of DOUGLAS Photography, Inc. and DOUGLAS Art Prints® said.  "I was excited when the book publisher came to me with the idea and have been talking  for several weeks about having photos featured in an up coming book.  As a creative alternative I have long offered a line of limited edition art prints on our 2 other web sites. DOUGLAS Art Prints® and DOUGLAS Modern Art Prints™.  Because these 2 web sites offered the same prints, one as modern art and the other as contemporary art, this provided another opportunity.  I already had a web site that could be converted to a separate new series of photographic art prints."
