The Acrylic Print
For
the past six months we have been quietly, but
diligently working on a new family of products that
we call the Acrylic Print.
The idea was to have a premium family of products
that would compliment the Panel Prints.
It took several iterations, but we are delighted to
introduce the Acrylic Print. We are very excited
about the sharp and vivid details this presentation
package provides.
More details can be found at
Red Wing Digital.
Red Wing Digital is officially launched!
It
took longer than hoped and it cost
more than it should, but Red Wing Digital was finally
launched today.
Red Wing Digital is a targeted business that provides
products for fine-art and passionate photographers.
The initial product is the Panel Print, with more
products to follow. What is unique about this web
site is the point-and-click selection of the products
and the print-on-demand nature of the interface.
The most exciting part of the web site will be the
guest contributors. Guests will contribute inside
tips for their specific photography niche, with the
goal that the web site will become a portal for
photographers who are always trying to advance their
skills. So far, this 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.

The Red Wing Framing Gallery Panel Print
And now, a word from the sponsor...
For years, people have been complaining that, "if they can put a man on the moon, why can't they put a print on a panel?"
Introducing the Red Wing Framing Gallery Panel Print.
It's a Panel! It's a Print!
It's a Panel Print!
It begins with any digital photo
and ends with a full-print bleed, UV-protected, 1/4"
thick hardboard panel print that is
pool-table
flat and rugged!
The Panel Print has a linen laminate finish and a 1"
reverse frame mount. The mount lays flat on the wall
and the print is an elevated surface that creates a
modern 'drop-shadow' effect on the wall.
It can be printed at any size or aspect ratio (great
for panorama photographs) and it has been especially
popular with photographers who appreciate this very
contemporary look. It also works great for commercial
projects that are restricted from using glass or need
to cover large wall surfaces, yet still need to
project elegance and creativity.
Call the shop today at 1-651-385-0500 and create your
own art from your own images!
Now, back to the regularly scheduled programming.
Stewy's on Main
Another
restaurant 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 reign
(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
and 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.
