About the images

Andrew Newman has been using Adobe Photoshop since its inception for his graphic design work. Living on Cape Cod has been an inspiration and has provided an endless source of imagery. Some of these images have found their way into the various cods Mr. Newman has designed. Cape Card® artwork is all done in Adobe Photoshop as digital montages. Each image consists of many layers and these layers consist of photographs, drawn elements, type and lettering, and painted objects. Many of the layers interact to give more depth and realism to the finished works.

About the prints

The images are printed on acid free, archival stock similar in appearance to watercolor paper. The printer used is the Epson Stylus Pro 3800 which uses Epson UltraChrome K3 pigment inks. These prints should not fade for 150 – 200 years under glass if not in direct sunlight. Most images are also available in 5x7, 8x10, and 16x20 sizes.
