Culbertson Poster Still Available

The Culbertson poster is no longer available at the Gallery, but this does not mean you cannot still get it.  Just contact me at penandinkdetails@gmail.com to find out more.  

Postcards and posters can make nice keepsakes.  You don't have to throw that postcard you like in the trash.  Keep it, but put it in a nice frame.  

I received a beautiful card with a painting of a Holy Land scene with pressed flowers from that area upon it.  The flowers were not in the best shape, but I really did not want to throw the beautiful painting on the card away, so I framed it.  

Of course, I throw out this idea to give people more ways to use MY cards and posters, but for those who like these architectural and historical sites, they really are a nice memory and keepsake of a visit, or a reminder of when one lived in the area.  

Frames and mats dress up cards nicely, and you can make them suit the decor of your home however you like.  

Check out the Culbertson poster framed above.

Niswonger Aviation Technology Building

The Niswonger Aviation Technology Building was recently built and dedicated at Purdue University.  I completed a commissioned artistic drawing of this building, about 20 in. X 14 in.  The drawing is unlike any other I have done.  

Here is a description of what is going on in the drawing: The backgrounds have been done in black.  The building and the clouds are primarily white, and thus “pop” out of the picture.  The clouds are of unusual shapes and are drawn with solid lines, in character with the solid lines of the building itself.  A black jet streams high into the sky, beginning to exit the top of a   cloud.  

The building itself can be seen at the Purdue airport.  In person, you will note the reflective bluish colored windows of the building that set off the architecture of this contemporary building.

WBAA at Purdue University Interviews Chris Truelsen of Pen and Ink Details

A few months ago, I had the opportunity to do an interview with Mike Loizzo at WBAA, the radio station at Purdue. Mike discovered the Lafayette Courthouse poster, and wanted to learn more about it. Hear the interview AND check out the poster we're talking about:

A few larger shots of drawings on the poster

Postcard drawings of New Albany, IN sites were mentioned as well.

Hope you enjoy the interview. Looking forward to adding more drawings here at the blog, just as soon as my wife and I have our upstairs remodel completed by the contractor . . . . Have a great June!

Blossoms in Red

This new drawing, done entirely in red is an attempt at trying something a little different.  I happened to find a postcard done of a Chinese woman's painting, done entirely in red on a white background, of a floral arrangement.

I chose a close-up of some dogwood blossoms.  Getting used to working entirely in red is a bit of a challenge.  I call my drawing here, "Blossoms in Red."
