Powered by BlogCFM http://www.smokingpipes.com/blog <p>As many of you may have already noticed, we&rsquo;ve got a new, double-sided Smokingpipes.com poster circulating in the spring edition of Pipes and Tobacco Magazine. Thanks in part to popular demand, we&rsquo;ll start offering the posters on the site with this coming Monday&rsquo;s update.</p> <p>One side features no fewer than 70 of the coolest pipes we've showcased in our twelve years in business. We&rsquo;ve fashioned it a guessing-game of sorts, withholding the names of the makers from the poster instead of a cheat sheet (that can be found at <a href="http://www.Smokingpipes.com/poster2012">www.smokingpipes.com/poster2012</a>).</p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="http://www.smokingpipes.com/images/blog/PnT_Poster_2012_small.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The other side of the poster boasts the Art Nouveau stylings of California based artist Jonathan Radin. Jonathan approached me last year with the completed watercolor print of a woman (&agrave; la Alfons Mucha) smoking an Adam Davidson pipe under a Smokingpipes banner, so this year when Sykes, John Sutherland (head of our Creative team), and I were discussing what the other side of our poster would look like, that we should use Jonathan&rsquo;s art became clear pretty quickly.</p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="http://www.smokingpipes.com/images/blog/smoking_pipes_by_cybotics_small.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p align="CENTER">You can see more of Jonathan&rsquo;s work at RadinART.com</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><br /><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="http://www.smokingpipes.com/images/employees/ted_swearingen.jpg" alt="" /> <em>Ted Swearingen: Vice President, General Manager</em></p> http://www.smokingpipes.com/blog/1/2012/04/The-2012-SPC-Poster.cfm 2012-04-06T16:15:00-04:00 smokingpipes.com,SPC Merchandise
