About This Image

The inspiration for this retro style artwork was the periodic table on the chalkboard in my own school when I was growing up. Perchance, does it take you back to your own school days? Granted, it might help if you, like me, went to a school that was already vintage when you were born!

Part of the well-worn chalkboard in one corner of my chemistry classroom was permanently etched with sections of the periodic table of the elements. The challenge of course was memorizing and filling in the atomic number, weight, and mass of each element on the periodic table as well as being able to identify the different chemical series. That old periodic table chalkboard had been erased and re-done so many times that there was always evidence of chalk dust all over it. And that old classroom quality was the charm I wanted to portray here.

This old school periodic table art has a classic touch whether you’re planning to decorate a classroom, your kid’s room or simply want to show off your own geeky side. Even though my life took a different path, I have always had a yen for science. Our collective quest to understand our universe has always fascinated me and perhaps in an alternate universe somewhere I turned right and pursued those interests? That life-long interest is the reason I wanted this to have a vintage style yet be reasonably up-to-date. After all, they’ve -gasp- added elements to the periodic table since I was looking at that old chalkboard in chemistry class!

Of course, science is constantly expanding our knowledge of the cosmos. So if you notice any updates are needed to my old school periodic table art, be sure to drop me a line! I would also love to hear what most caught your attention in this vintage style periodic table? Remind you of your love of science? Want to inspire the next generation?

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
