Historical Posters

These paintings feature historical technologies, objects or ideas in a pleasing format that leaves no doubt about the subject at hand. The poster format allows me freer movement between historical topics and eras and admits an educational component to the work. A review of available research precedes the design process of the posters, as well as the construction of models, when applicable. A bit of humor is occasionally included in the design.
