Lachute, Quebec

Rivet & Rouge

The collection

Samples, in three groups.

Vintage Art and Pin-Up are sublimation prints on aluminum. Pin-Up Posters are paper prints in the layout of a classic advertisement. Each piece is marked as a sample for this site. None of it is offered here as stock, and none of it is a customer’s own picture.

01 · Aluminum panel

Vintage Art

Deco skies, hangars, and small studies in rouge and metal. These are aluminum panels, not paper posters. The pictures were drawn for this site.

The rivets on these frames are part of the sample presentation. A finished panel is coated aluminum with a metal edge. It does not have to be fastened with rivets.

02 · Aluminum panel

Pin-Up

Gowns, gloves, collars, and pearls — glamour in the studio sense, never explicit. These four are aluminum panels. The paper advertisements are in Pin-Up Posters, the next group.

The rivets on these frames are part of the sample presentation. A finished panel is coated aluminum with a metal edge. It does not have to be fastened with rivets.
