Been a while since I heard from Aaron James Powers but he has a some new posters from Nicole Atkins.
I asked Aaron about his creative process:
Like the plywood print, the landscape series I’ve
started working on has been inspired by my trips to the Pacific
Northwest and to the relatively wilder regions of New England/The
Adirondacks. There’s some subtle personal symbolism in the geometric
shapes and disjointed perspectives that I am blending into what would
normally be an ordinary landscape study. Themes like personal
connection, chemistry, distance, etc started to inadvertently appear in
my sketches while trying to accomplish something else entirely, so I
stopped questioning it once I realized what was happening naturally.
Nicole
Atkins and I met at a craft fair in Asbury Park, NJ last fall when the
event’s organizer referred her to me about doing some show posters. The
prints I ended up making for her were based off of a few minutes of
brainstorming with her and then presenting a few options to choose from
based on what she liked from the previous work I had on display. It’s
been great to know I was able to help her bottom line at her merch table
on tour, but also to be able to push myself with a level of portraiture
I hadn’t tried before.
