Description:
Between 2001 and 2003, TD Marlo, local Greenpointer,
and author of the popular manuscript "Welcome To Greenpoint",
was prompted to create a series of computer art prints to be used to raise funds and bring
attention to various local issues and causes. During a time when digital photography, and
scanning was in its infancy, Marlo combed the Greenpoint community in
search of the landmark images and visual icons that made up the heart of his beloved
neighborhood.
Amongst the many images that he
had documented were St. Anthony's Church and Georges
Variety store (now closed) on Manhattan Avenue, St. Cecilia's
church on North Henry Street, the Greenpoint Terminal Warehouse on West
Street, and The Brooklyn Union gas tank towers (now demolished) on
Vandervoort Avenue, The Winthrop Park Angel statue, and even the Calyer
Street hot-dog wagon.
TD Marlo took those images and
digitally enhanced them using early computer techniques such as layering, softening,
digital water coloring, etc. The final images were stunning, and unique.
The "Greenpoint's
St Anthony" image included the church's magnificent structure seemingly
floating in the clouds of heaven against a moody yellow, blue, and pink sky.
The "Georges"
print was a compilation of images that showed the famous variety store (established in
1938, and now closed) nestled in computer layered blades of McCarren Park
grass, being travelled upon by the digitally placed locals. In the distance is an image of
the Winthrop Park Angel statue. In the foreground, the Calyer
Street Hot-Dog man leaning back reading a newspaper. All centered around an
American flag in the window, and enhanced with a digitally generated water color painting
technique.
The "Changes"
image is another computer layered, and digitally water colored combination of images
showing the landmark Greenpoint Terminal Warehouse, and St
Cecilia's Church with the now demolished Brooklyn Union Gas tank
towers hovering above in the clouds, against the beautifully layered west sky.
This package includes 3, print
ready, color, 8.5" X 11" PDF files. Each image is centered on a white
background, with matte lines, the print title, creation date, and the artist name (TD
Marlo). The prints can be trimmed to be suitable for 8X10 or 5X7 framing.
