“Alas, poor Yorick!”

It’s a Shakespeare/Day of the Dead MASH-UP!   Hamlet has made it all the way to Act 5, Scene 1. A few more scenes until the play ends with everyone dead.  It is exhausting being a melancholy Dane.  It is the famous graveyard scene.  Hamlet holds Yorick’s skull and begins his famous speech, “Alas, poor Yorick!”

BUT WHAT??!!!?!   Some of mexicano spirit brought that skull back to life.

Poor Yorick?  POOR HAMLET! That skull is stealing the spotlight.

This Shakespeare/Day of the Dead Mash-up was created for Art VallARTa’s annual Dia de los Muertos show.  Day of the Dead not only honors our ancestors, it makes fun of human foibles.  It doesn’t matter how rich you are, everybody dies.  I am a theater guy and my key to the humor was taking Shakespeare’s classic drama and stirring in some Mexico mischief.

The stage is set for a 19th Century production of “Hamlet.”  The scrims are hung and cyclorama backlit to reveal a spooky graveyard.  Hamlet is suitably serious.  He holds Yorick’s skull, his childhood court jester.  The skull comes to life.  Those mexicanos love to mess with ya.  Hamlet is one melancholy Dane who needs to lighten up.

Fine Art Paper Finishing

Unless otherwise requested, all fine art paper prints will come with a one-inch border for ease of framing.   If you don’t want a border, let me know.  The art looks beautiful without a border “floated” (placed on top) of matte board. 

There are several options with deckled edge which should be floated on a matte.  Please contact me to discuss the options.

Canvas Stretching

I print on two types of canvas, matte finish (an elegant, smooth flat finish) and gloss finish (shinier and reflective).  In general, I prefer the matte finish.  These can be thin stretched on ¾ inch stretcher bars.  They can be hung unframed or framed.  Some pieces can be gallery wrapped where the image wraps around the side.  Or the side can be white, black or a complimentary color that I usually choose to go with the artwork.  There are other options.  You can have the canvas stretched over 1.5 inch stretcher bars, a dramatic look. 

Metal Prints

The metal prints have the look of a plexiglass or acrylic print and are more economical.

The Metal Print with a Float Hanger  

The surface white Gloss Metal Prints has a white base to maximize color and contrast. Its high gloss surface provides a metallic look while preserving the white points in an image. Final product should display high level luminescence effect for seemingly superior image density and contrast.

Metal Silver Gloss

The surface has a clear metallic base providing a true metallic look. Higher gloss surface allowing a more silver appearance. Provides a maximum luminescence effect for seemingly superior image density and contrast.

I am happy to provide advice on framing and can help you with this process.  Contact me.  I love to work with my clients!
