Artisans in Oaxaca Mexico: Vacation Travel

A Different View of Vancouver- Local Artist Eric Burke Offers New Perspective on His City

Vancouver, BC. (PRWeb) February 8, 2007 -- Vancouver artist Eric Burke has just released a collection of prints that feature a whole new perspective on the city of Vancouver.

Burke, who has lived and worked in the city his whole life, created the collection to present "a view of Vancouver that is familiar to most, but with a unique twist." Using a combination of photographic images, digital editing and design, Burke puts a spin on some of the more recognizable sights in the city. "I try to use styles and trends that are really in vogue, part of pop culture; to capture the city's style at the moment," says Burke.

Vancouver is both the subject and the inspiration of the collection, which he has been working on for three years. "It's the lifestyle of Vancouver, the way we are uniquely West Coast," says Burke of his muse, adding that the city's most distinctive characteristic is "the surrounding environment of mountains and ocean."

Cityscapes, landscapes and architecture comprise the works, which include renderings of the Marine Building, the Seawall, Queen Elizabeth Park, the Waterfront, Chinatown and many other famous Vancouver locales. The entire collection is available as open edition prints, in various sizes on both paper and canvas, and can be viewed at http://vancouver.ericburke.ca. Additionally, Burke has made lower resolution downloads of the collection available for free (with attribution to the artist under a Creative Commons license) at http://flickr.com/photos/ericburkevancouver.
