Hooly World—500 prints on canvas

When Royal Glamsters submitted his Hooly designs, i knew i was onto something. If images transport memes, this one does. Hooly immediately reminded me of Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night. Both art pieces share a certain, unmistakable, wooly dilemma.

Hooly World was a finalist in the YayArtist'08 competition. It was rated as one of the 24 most popular pieces, out of almost 400 submissions. All 24 finalist art pieces were displayed on giant cubes at Kings New Square in Copenhargen, Denmark.

YayArt offers reproductions on canvas, based on digitally processed master copies. The pieces are “produced on real canvas, using only quality materials and the latest technology available”.

As somebody who also relies on “quality materials and the latest technology” i can tell you that this is the hardest part to demonstrate on the Internet. In the realm of fine art prints, you get what you see, but you have to touch to see clearly. With other words, the only way to judge quality is with your own eyes and hands on the real product. Photos on the Internet are the only other, lossy, way to get an impression beforehand—and that is why feedback is very welcome.

Hooly World on canvas is available until 500 pieces are sold.

Digital art on canvas

Vincent Fraser and Massimiliano Panzironi are featured artists at createyourart.co.uk. The fine art prints on canvas use fade-resistant inks, which means that 70 years or so hence, the colors will still appear as fresh as today.

Some of the canvases contain the same graphics that are used in Shufflesome designs. Compare PASSIONE to the images found here, and CIRCUS to the images found here (there are no permalinks—you have to click through).

From createyourart.co.uk/profile:

So our philosophy is to source the latest printers, keeping us at the forefront of this process. Many of our competitors will produce their own prints on outdated equipment.

Although it is not obvious to me whether sourcing the latest printers means that they own and opertate the printing machines, or that they collaborate with printers, i can only echo the philosophy.
