Birmingham Alabama Skyline Art – Chalkboard Silhouette Canvas Print by Mark Tisdale
This chalkboard silhouette canvas print features the Birmingham Alabama skyline. As you can see it isn’t a literal interpretation of the skyline. Rather it’s a symbolic interpretation – an attempt at capturing the spirit, history and landmarks of the city.
Featured among the landmarks is the Sloss Furnaces which were a major part of Birmingham, Alabama’s history as an industrial American city. Also a monument to that industrial past is the Vulcan statue. And a symbol of the city and the state is the sign from the front of the Alabama theatre. The rest of the Birmingham skyline silhouette includes a collection of skyscrapers both historic and modern. As a group, this print captures the story of Birmingham, Alabama in an artful way.
This Birmingham skyline canvas print is part of a series I did featuring the same set of silhouettes which you can find here on my site. Where my other Birmingham skyline canvas prints are very colorful, I wanted to create one silhouette that would give you a more neutral but nonetheless dramatic image! There’s something about monotone images that really delivers a punch! So this variation on the them shows Birmingham in black and white in a chalkboard style.
In the time since I did this, it’s been my pleasure that this Birmingham Alabama skyline canvas print has turned out to be a popular one. I’ve heard from a few Birmingham natives who purchased prints as a reminder of home. I suspect some others may have gone to people who were looking for gifts for friends or family who had moved away but wanted to take a little bit of Birmingham, Alabama, with them.
If you’ve purchased this Birmingham chalkboard silhouette canvas print or are considering it, I would love to hear your reasons for selecting it. Does it capture your city for you? Maybe there’s a particular landmark in the print that has a special meaning for you? Whatever it is, I hope you’ll pause to share your thoughts and questions. You may also send me a message about this or any of my other prints if you’d like. It’s always a pleasure to answer questions or simply discuss your thoughts!
Canvas Prints – Product Information
Stretched canvas prints are a great choice for decorating your home or office. Canvas art is a classic choice that is at home in traditional and modern decor alike.
After the purchase of your canvas print, it is made to your order. The artwork is printed on an acid-free poly/cotton blend canvas. The use of archival inks and substrate means that your canvas art print should last a lifetime without fading or loss of color.
When ordering your print, you have a choice between glossy and matte finishes. While I ordinarily love matte finishes on prints, I do like the sheen that comes on glossy canvas prints. Ultimately I would suggest letting the amount of light in your space guide your choice. In a brightly lit environment, I would lean towards a matte finish to reduce the chance of glare.
There are three wrap styles to choose from for canvas prints. The mirrored wrap choice mirrors and extends the image to the sides of the canvas wrap (without losing any of the original artwork on the front). The majority of the time I would suggest this is the best choice. The other two options are a solid black wrap or white wrap. You can see a preview of each option when selecting wrap color.
After printing, the canvas is stretched over and secured to a wooden frame of 1.5″ by 1.5″ stretcher bars. The entire production process takes from 5 to 7 business days. Your artwork will arrive in sturdy packaging. The hanging wire will be attached and all hardware necessary to hang your canvas print will be included. Canvas prints are a great ready-to-hang option.
