Paintings of the Heroes of the Book of Mormon

Online art gallery revised

Al R. Young — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 12:00:00 -0700

The art gallery area of the Al Young Studios web site now takes visitors directly to images available in the collection.

For many years, artworks have been presented by artist, by subject category, or by media. These categories can still be used to sort the collection, but site visitors now go first to the images and then to the forms in which an image is available. A detail page for each image presents the original and the prints in which each image can be purchased.

The online Product Catalog remains unchanged.

The collection currently consists of 152 images created originally as 65 oil paintings, 75 lithographs, 10 computer-generated illustrations (CGIs), and 2 block prints. In addition to the media in which the images were created (which might loosely be termed the "originals"), the Al Young Studios currently offers 101 open-edition print versions of selected images.

New blogs created for Al Young Studios

Al R. Young — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 20:45:00 -0700

Al Young Studios announces its creation of two blogs:

The Studios blog provides behind-the-scenes coverage of studio projects, as well as posts presented in the spirit of sharing ideas that might be helpful in setting up and maintaining an art studio.

The Storybook Home blog is for the community of interest in The Storybook Home Journal™: "There's so much that goes into a storybook life, and so many photos, recipes, ideas, and tips that never make it into the pages of The Storybook Home Journal™, that we decided a blog would be the perfect medium to fill in the blanks for our subscribers, and anyone else interested in 'stepping into the story.'"

Press releases will continue to be posted to the main Al Young Studios site.

For more information, please contact Al R. Young at Al Young Studios.
