From the exhibit ZOUAVES, DEVILS & SASS, Political Passions & The Printed Envelope During The American Civil War.

Print size 24 x 18, and consciously formatted to work with a standard size store bought frame, or custom framed as you see fit.

Another of the use of devil imagery by The North to lampoon The South. The reason for the 'til death do us part' reference seems to carry more weight than the obvious but, as several of the images in the exhibit show, there are cultural clues sometimes lost to the ages. My kids have no idea what 'Where's the beef?' means. Why, for example, is there an iron pony shoe or goat shoe at the bottom right? This was, like all the images in the collection, originally a very small graphic and the iron shoe was consciously drawn and placed. What the hell, devil guy?

This print has been surprisingly popular with an even more surprisingly broad demographic. Hot rodders, tattoo aficionados, folks with a streak of Addams Family or Tim Burton aesthetic guiding their interior design choices...!

A NOTE ON OUR PROCESS, OUR CHOICES AND THE QUALITY OF THE GRAPHIC CRAFTSMANSHIP THAT GOES INTO OUR PRINTS.

Every print we deem exciting enough to present to the public via our Etsy store or available here at our studio has gone through a number of steps. The first of those is always discovering and falling in love with an obscure image, always an original that we can hold in our hands. That image is speaking to us, sometime screaming “Don’t leave me here. See what I am, what I was, what I can be, what I SHOULD be!”

There is a real sense of excitement involved, and a great many smiles and knowing grins when we make that deal and bring that ancient print, that battered photo, that scrap of ephemera that contains some scrap of genius from an unknown commercial artist home with us, knowing already how we mean to approach its restoration.

There is the heady promise of a further hunt just as real as what drags a weekend fisherman out of bed at 3AM to work a favorite brook as we start our research, looking for that great backstory, and both ready and willing to tumble down as many rabbit holes as are revealed to us to get that story.

Then there is a meticulous digital restoration that is as often as much fun as riding a vintage Moto Guzzi on a winding coastal road. I don’t care if that sounds crazy, it really is like jumping in the saddle! So many choices, so many chances to take to subtly or spectacularly give new life to otherwise permanently obscure images.

This dedication and the ongoing rush of joy in the accomplishment of it, and the opportunity to share the results in our studio and here on Etsy, is the fire of passion that keeps these engines roaring. We make every effort to ensure our customers are not just satisfied but thrilled, and we happily stand 100% behind our work.
