Art Walk Campaign

It's almost inevitable, it seems, that a visual artist gets called upon to do some graphic design. Over the years, I've worked in graphics and printing many times. In 2004, I created this advertising campaign for the Murray Hill Arts Association in Cleveland. It was a great year for attendance.



The theme I used throughout the advertisements and publicity materials was graphic images of people's legs all walking in the same direction. There are men and women and boys and girls of various ages—which you can tell from the clothing and the size of the figures. A number of the figures are carrying art that they purchased.

This was the 25th anniversary of the event, so the 25th was featured prominently. Below are stickers we used to seal the box lunches that we provided attendees.


After that year, I moved out of my Murray Hill studio. A few years later, I learned that they had continued to use this design in later art walks.
