...these great Blacksburg prints. For those of you that don't know, my husband is a full-time Veterinary Medicine student at VA Tech and we have quite an affinity for the town. It's full of character and personality...as well as being full of great places to eat. We both did our undergraduate work at Shepherd College, which has a similar feel, although the schools are drastically different in size. Perhaps that contributes to our love affair with Blacksburg.
This local artist has created a line of fresh and bright prints that capture the energy of the town - primarily centered around the eateries and bars. He doesn't provide much information about "who" he is on his site, but here's what I can tell you:
"A life-long resident of the town and former Tech Art School student, I know
the areas I draw as well as anyone. I walk downtown most every day. I have
seen lots of changes since my years as a Blacksburg teen in the 70’s and some
of my art is intended to reflect those changes."
