The Acrylic Print

Introducing Our New Acrylic Prints

For the past six months, we've been quietly and diligently working on a new family of products called the Acrylic Print.

Our goal was to create a premium product line that complements our Panel Prints.

After several iterations, we are thrilled to introduce the Acrylic Print. We are excited about the sharp and vivid details this presentation package offers.

Red Wing Digital is officially launched!

Red Wing Digital Launches Today!

It took longer than hoped and cost more than expected, but Red Wing Digital was finally launched today.

Red Wing Digital is a targeted business providing products for fine-art and passionate photographers. The initial product is the Panel Print, with more products to follow. What makes this website unique is its point-and-click selection of products and the print-on-demand nature of the interface.

The most exciting part of the website will be the guest contributors. These guests will provide inside tips for their specific photography niches, making the website a portal for photographers who are always striving to advance their skills. So far, contributors will include:

  • Stacy Bengs (Stacy Bengs Photographer) discussing sports photography and photojournalism

  • Barbara O'Brien (Barbara O'Brien Photography), a talented animal photographer

  • Clare Polencheck (Off the Cuff Photography), an especially skilled portrait photographer

It is a privilege to work with such talented and creative individuals, and this will be a lot of fun.

The above Panel Print is 'Red Wing Boathouses' by Dr. Jack Alexander and is on display at Red Wing Fairview Hospital.

Visit the new site at RedWingDigital.com.

The Red Wing Framing Gallery Panel Print

Introducing the Red Wing Framing Gallery Panel Print

For years, people have been wondering, "if they can put a man on the moon, why can't they put a print on a panel?"

Well, wonder no more!

Introducing the Red Wing Framing Gallery Panel Print.

It's a Panel! It's a Print! It's a Panel Print!

Starting with any digital photo, this innovative product ends with a full-bleed, UV-protected, 1/4" thick hardboard panel print that is pool-table flat and incredibly rugged!

The Panel Print features a linen laminate finish and a 1" reverse frame mount. This mount lays flat against the wall, while the print itself is elevated, creating a modern 'drop-shadow' effect.

Available in any size or aspect ratio (perfect for panorama photographs), it has become particularly popular among photographers who appreciate its contemporary look. It's also ideal for commercial projects that are restricted from using glass or need to cover large wall surfaces, yet still want to project elegance and creativity.

Call the shop today at 1-651-385-0500 to create your own art from your own images!

Now, back to the regularly scheduled programming.

Stewy's on Main

New Restaurant in Downtown Red Wing: Stewy's on Main

Another restaurant has opened in Downtown Red Wing. Stewy's on Main will serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and provide a full bar offering.

Stew approached us a month ago and gave us free rein (with his final approval) to design attractive wall images. It was decided to focus on local iconic scenes, with a focus on both sides of the Mississippi River.

Panel prints are used. This is a print on hardboard mounted with a reverse frame to create a wall stand-off and laminated with a linen finish. The beauty of this product is that it is very contemporary, pool-table flat, no glass is used, and it creates a very nice drop-shadow effect. Each image is either 40"x40" or 27"x40".

The first grouping of three are all Downtown Red Wing photos, with the common denominator of the violin-playing model. These were printed with a brown sepia tone.

The second grouping is from the Maiden Rock Flood Run in 2004. Same image tone, different effect.

One wall is all about elegance and grace, and the other wall is all about machines and chrome.

Yin and Yang. Joanie loves Chachi.
