STORY BEHIND THE SHOT:
This photo appeals to fans of symmetry, Chevrolet panel van aficionados... and deep-history Madison residents. I'll need to explain that last one! Madison locals know a longtime musician named Rusty Bladen, who's made a living playing guitar and singing since the 1990s. (Incidentally, I worked as Rusty's booking agent circa 2004.) Rusty has a brother named Tony, a house painter. Tony was the subject of a Bladen song from the '90s named "Blue Flannel Shirt", which was about Rusty's brother, his blue-collar profession, and his yard-sale-procured, eponymous flannel shirt.
What the heck does all this have to do with this pleasing photograph of a truck? Well, rusting away in a dead-end alley on Madison's west side, this truck reads "Bladen Painting" under all the ivy. I like to think that this was the very truck Rusty sang about in "Blue Flannel Shirt". And now all that's out of the way, perhaps you should simply consider the image on its photographic merits, which are considerable!

Elegant and perfect for both framing or simply pinning to your wall. These pieces are printed at our local upscale custom framing and print shop. I provide my own professional fine art paper for use with their wide-format Canon printer.
I choose to use Red River Paper’s premium Palo Duro Softgloss Rag, a 100% cotton, acid-free, museum-grade paper with no optical brighteners. This 315gsm, 16.5mil heavyweight paper feels great in hand and the semi-gloss, subtly-textured surface brings the photos to life beautifully. The paper’s lack of acids and brighteners, combined with Canon’s durable pigment inks, mean the prints are truly archival in nature.
Printed with a proportionate white border for easy framing and a classic matted look if hung frameless.
Available shipped or for local pickup in 8×12”, 12×18”, 16×24”, 24×36”, and 40×60” formats.

This is a premium, modern approach to displaying art. A metal print makes a gorgeous showpiece of the photograph, easily lasts for generations, and displays beautifully with no framing. The image irresistibly draws your eye with vibrant colors and remarkable depth. Between the image quality and the striking physical presence of a metal print, the overall impression is one of high-end fine art.
A metal print “floats” off the wall on a hidden mount for dramatic presentation. Metal prints are extremely durable - resistant to bending, scratching, and breakage.
I don’t use the budget metal print shops, instead choosing the nation’s premium metal-only print shop for my photographs. These high-end, semi-gloss ChromaLuxe aluminum panels are dye-sublimated in the USA to exacting standards. Full bleed only - print extends to edges. Hanging hardware included.
Available shipped or for local pickup in 8×12”, 12×18”, 16×24”, 24×36”, and 40×60” formats.
