Pushing the levels

I found the second image first via what possessed me and found the original source was flickr user thrillwnc, as I clicked through the long linkage. So I did some google-ing and found that this town is Manarola, Italy and really looks like the first image found on interior design and remodeling. With the help of Photoshop the stunning cliff town was turned into an outrageous crayola box.

Featuring images of Italy & Croatia by Erin Wolczik

Images of Italy taken by Erin Wolczik of Westboro, Massachusetts. Erin, who grew up in Framingham is another amazing artist that I am priviledged to work with. Her design for Checkerboard has been recognized at the Louie Awards (the Academy Awards of the stationery world) in New York City. She has amazing design sensibility and serious typographical skills. By her photographs here, you can see that her talents don't stop at invitation design. Dancing in the light without words, the imagery conveys the magic of Venice to the viewer as if they were there. The last image of colorful dingies is in Croatia.

Erin was also a participating artist at Cirque du Noir in Worcester last October, featuring prints on wood of some these images. With a bit of pursuation, I hope she will come back this October and share a few more pieces with Worcester.
