About the Ad & This Artwork

This artwork is based on a 1948 advertisement for the a Nash 600 Automobile. The ad highlights Nash's ability to "engineer the air" with a hot sun and cool night. The image of the sun and cloud inspired me to the yin and yang of the sun and moon, and I interpreted the illustration into the day and night cycle of the 12 hour clock. You'll notice the carefully overlapping colors of the clock face as time moves throughout the day and night.

My Art Process

All of my artworks blend historical artifacts with modern interpretation. I thoughtfully curate the product presentation to enhance the original advertising message while creating inspiring or artful decor. Each of my pieces are designed to look great in your home, but also tell a unique story about American print advertising.
