It has taken many hours to complete all the details and image work needed to allow Neal Hamilton to be able to offer high quality reproductions directly off his website.  I am happy to annouce that last Friday all the details fell into place to allow the website to go live.

Paint Out Loud captures Neal’s vision of iconic rock stars and portrays them on canvas.  Photos by Q has created photographic reproductions of these intense original paintings and allowed Neal to offer them as giclee prints.  Neal recieved the first proofs from his printing vendor and is very excited to offer these prints for sale.

Creation of these digital files was a very exacting process from photographing the original paints to preserve the exact colors and painting techniques Neal used in his artwork to editing the finished files for production.  Neal uses non-traditional techniques to create some of the details in his photography.  These can range from razor blades to free hand dripings of paint to create his signature effects. (see detail below)  I worked with Neal every step of the way to ensure the artist’s visions were captured and visible in the final print.  

Check out Neal’s unique series of paintings on his website at www.nealhamilton.com.

If you are seeking high quality reproductions for your artwork.  Call Mark at 216-219-5547 and lets discuss your project.  I would look forward to working with you.

Langston Hughes by Neal Hamilton

This photograph posed several challenges to create a high resolution digital photograph due to the medium used by the artist and the sheer size of the work that measures over 40 inches. Mark Quinn of Photos by Q used creative lighting as well as digital techniques to retain the subtle textures of Neal’s work while allowing a print to be made on a large scale.

The painting was installed on 2/12/09 at the branch located at 10200 Superior Avenue Cleveland, OH 44106. You can read more about the painting and Neal at his website
