Each one of these NFTs is a large (9,000 X 12,000 pixel) hi-definition image, a composite of faces and figures pulled from paintings and drawings by New York artist Lou Patrou from the last 25 years. This very special design represents years of hand-drawn / hand-painted work all assembled into one stunning digital image.
Artist proof prints of the black version of this image have been exhibited at galleries in New York and Las Vegas and purchased by collectors. The alternate color versions here are the first time these have been offered, each version is an edition of one. Although the background colors vary, many of the character's parts are different color combinations and variations as well, such as Hank's hat, Sylvie's hair and her lips, Lucy's face & hair and all the design elements, making each piece truly unique.
The faces depicted have been published in numerous art & design magazines internationally as well as appearing in countless online art blogs over the decades. The drawing "Priest" was the cover image for Colorink Book collectible books and later produced as phone & device cases. "Priest" is also lined up with a special designer skateboard project in the works.
Many of these original images are reproduced in different iterations as apparel and other licensed products such as watches, blotter art etc.
The characters "Hank & Sylvie" were first created in 2010 as a pair of large black & white drawings done in pencil and later digitized and rendered in color. Hank & Sylvie made an appearance at Mardi Gras in New Orleans on their own billboard high above The French Quarter. They have been reproduced in both black & white and color on multiple products, shown in galleries, featured and published around the world. "Hank & Sylvie" and the icon "011" have been turned into their own specialty lifestyle & clothing brands and can be seen here: www.hankandsylvie.com and www.011co.com. |
