Mystic Blue artists do not use clip art, though we are familiar with the techniques used by the great advertising artists of previous eras.
We like to create characters, which come to life in cut-out forms as hanging signs
or sidewalk mascots. Mr. Apple and the Sno-Shak toucan are drawn in the graphic style with bold
flat areas of color.
The Voodoo Bone Lady and the Opera House alligator are graphics contained within
a regular shape, while 'Make me up' is all Hollywood glamour.
We also do more realistic illustration styles like Tarzan wrestling the alligator, who is a photo opportunity made for a local museum.
Our artists have designed and painted illustrated menus for many restaurants--either realistic or whimsical-- and cut-out coffee cups like Croissant d'or are practically an icon in caffeine country.
