“The Sounds of Austin” Print on Acrylic Copper Backed

The first half of this year has been busy with exciting things happening. Jack’s new copper backed acrylic print “The Sounds of Austin” not only earned a merit at the Texas Professional Photographers annual Kerrville summer convention but also won a Judges Choice award. The process is so new and unusual that the judges didn’t know what they were looking at!

In a nutshell, the image is printed on acetate film with pigment inks from our 44 inch wide HP inkjet printer. Then the image is transferred via an acrylic alcohol gel solution to the back of a sheet of three-eights or half inch acrylic. After at least a day of drying it is backed with copper leaf. The result is this beautiful image that seems to shimmer in the light.

An interesting aspect is that it is a distressed process and is somewhat unpredictable, but that is one of the beauties of the process. No two prints will ever look the same.

The Sounds of Austin is available in three sizes: 10×24, 12×32 and 16×40. Tips on what size might work best for you are located on our website. A short video demonstrating the process of making an acrylic print is posted on our website.

Cirrus Logic Award Presented by Japanese Magazine

Photo for excellence award

The Japanese Magazine Radio Technology awards the Cirrus Logic engineering design team.

Last week Cirrus Logic called to say they had won an award for design excellence from a Japanese magazine. To illustrate the award the magazine Radio Technology requested an action photo of the design team. The photo was to be taken in a laboratory. I decided on a high angle looking down on the engineering team. It was basically the only way to show that many people in such a tight space. It was important that each persons face be recognizable. The company was elated with the results.

Tis The Season

Howdy!  Well, it is already October and that means the holiday season is right around the corner.  Sharing your self with family and friends is the hallmark of this time of year and one of the best ways to do that is with a family portrait.  For the cost of a few dinners out or a few rounds of golf you can have a family portrait that will be cherished for generations to come.  We offer payment plans for those who would like to place larger orders but may not be able to pay all a once.  So get off the couch and call us before it’s to late!  And don’t sweat the changing times to much…they always return to the positive.

Puryear Photography

Things never get boring around here that’s for sure!  We went on another commercial shoot today in the sweltering heat, but as you can see the results turned out great.  This particular shoot was for a magazine cover dealing with business technology, which may sound boring but can actually be quite interesting.  Especially after Jack gets done with the photos!  It’s funny, nobody thinks that they are very photogenic until we show them the results and what can be done by a creative team of artists.  Does that sound like someone you know?  Give us a chance to prove it to you, check out our website at:  www.jackpuryear.com or give us a call at (512)260-8400.  Keep cool now and we look forward to your calls or comments…Thanks for reading our blog!
