Taj Mahal Poster, 2008 32" x 20"
This poster was commissioned by my friend Judy who traveled across India with an organization called Operation Equip India. This group helps provide wheel chairs for disabled adults and children. She wanted to remember this meaningful trip with a poster, and the Taj Mahal is certainly an iconic image of all India.
I take commissions from people who may want their own "vintage styled" poster for their own home or to give as a gift. These images can be used as framed art, or even made smaller and printed on note cards, stationary and the like.
In creating posters such as these for clients, I like to incorporate photos or images taken by the client on their trip. Here, you see the "before" photo:
On the poster, many personalized details have been incorporated; some of these may be small, and therefore difficult to fully appreciate at this scale. There are small icons with the organization's logo. The border details mimic the Taj Mahal's decorative carvings. The text above include the dates of my friend's trip, places she visited, and a passage which sums up the spirit of the trip in helping the poor and disabled.
As an aside, I was surprised that the landscaping- the trees in particular- was not better kept. Note the Stepford-esque trees in the final poster!
