I can imagine all these printed together on one poster, "Architecture of the Ocean State".

Adam, these are all just terrific, a nod to styles of years gone by. I'm just curious, how do you market them? They look like tall posters. Do you work in a digital format so they can be printed in any size, or are they made hands-on?

About Me:
Adam J Carriuolo was born and raised in Brockton, Massachusetts. As a teenager he discovered the world of European comic art through a fantasy magazine called Heavy Metal. He began creating art in earnest and was accepted to the Visual Design program at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth (UMD). He concentrated in illustration and visual design.
After graduation Adam moved to Boston to pursue a career as a freelance illustrator. After several years of struggling in the competitive field of the freelance illustrator, he took a job as a graphic artist at Lotus Development Corp. in Cambridge. At Lotus he had the opportunity to learn computer graphics applications at a very exciting time for the medium. He quickly evolved from a mechanical artist to a multimedia author and graphic designer.
Around 1994 he was exposed to the ground-breaking computer game "Myst". Adam realized that corporate technology graphics were not where his future as an artist should be. Realizing that he now had marketable art technology skills, Adam turned his back on a comfortable future at a big company (by this time Lotus had become a subsidiary of IBM), and vigorously pursued a job as an artist in the computer game industry. After searching across the country for two years, he landed a job as an artist at Sierra-Online subsidiary Impressions Games - two blocks from Lotus in Cambridge.
Since March of 2008, he has been employed at Harmonix Games in Cambridge, MA, developer of the popular Rock Band video game, and a subsidiary of MTV.
Around 2003 Adam realized he was missing the tactile joy of making art. The feel of paper, the smell of paint, and the sound and feel of a brush pressing against canvas was missing from the highly technical methods involved in digital art. Having developed an interest in historical architecture, he began considering ways to present these great buildings in a fresh way that people would respond to.

Which composition should I/did I develop?

Okay kids, I had a lot of trouble deciding which of these drawings of The Elms mansion in Newport that I would pursue for my next silkscreen print.

I've already made up my mind and begun carrying it forward, but I'm curious about how other artists would have suggested I swing here. What do you like/not like about each? Which one do you think I should have developed?

Hey Evan, thanks for the compliment. You can come by the house if you're not far away. I'm about 15 minutes east of Providence.

Send me a message and I'll give you my contact info. Are there any pieces you're interested in particularly?

I'm also going to be selling at the Narragansett Art festival on June 22nd and 23rd and the Wickford Art Festival in July.

I really like the look of your silk screens! I saw your Web site -- is there anywhere I can take a look/buy them in person?
