We all know how hard it is to get holiday shopping done. So we go to all sorts of online stores or even on “Big One” we all use and we can find anything we want. But in all those thousands of stores, you won’t find my art because this is the only place I sell it. However, that’s not quite enough of a reason to commit. You want to buy something that will be loved and appreciated. Socks and sweaters are always welcome gifts and we all give those at some point.

Art is one of those things you usually want to see in the real world to know exactly what you are getting. That’s how you can tell the real colors, the various details and the size of the art and how it feels in person. This is more true for painted works because photos can’t quite capture the texture and how it looks at different times of day or in different light conditions or angles.

Give the gift of fine art this holiday season!  

Master Algorithmic Artist Peter McClard creates incredible animal artwork on a variety of mediums including ChromaLuxe metal panels, non-glare acrylic, and canvas gallery wraps.

Buying art seems like a fairly simple task, doesn’t it? You see a piece, you like it, you buy it, and then you hang it up on a wall in your house. But it isn’t. Choosing art takes a little more than just buying something you like.

The definition reveals that our daily work can lead to exhaustion, burnout, and tiredness once it starts getting mundane and the person doing it loses its purpose. Visiting the office day-by-day can cause an employee to struggle with apathy while giving up his/ her sense of being.

Home is where the heart is. It is a heaven, a place where love resides, a place where memories are made, which is why your home should tell a story and exhibit these emotions to everyone who enters. Contemporary art is an easy way to do this as it offers you plenty of options to choose from for every corner of your home.

There are many gifts to give out there but few bring as much enduring enjoyment as the gift of art which can live on our walls for many years. As it hangs on the wall longer, art becomes a “fixture” in the space and sometimes even becomes invisible as we grow used to it. Even the greatest masterpiece can be ignored eventually as it becomes a backdrop to our busy lives. 

First of all, I use a proprietary process that I’ve developed over 20 years so it’s pretty difficult to imitate. This includes thousands of unique algorithms, transfer techniques, color methods that add up to make my art recognizable as mine. Even though my art has evolved by leaps and bounds with practice, there is a common thread of my personality that comes through over the years.

Why do artists do what they do? What compels them to constantly create so obsessively? For me, it’s a desire to make things that will inspire others and celebrate the beauty I see all around.

In the digital world, there are two main forms of art: Raster Art where we color in a fixed number of pixels on a screen like say with Photoshop and Vector Art where we color in mathematically defined shapes like with Illustrator. Raster art has its own special powers and allows the creation of photorealistic art with shading and incredible details, depending on the resolution.

"I often get asked what medium I work in and always struggle to answer. Because even though the final work is rendered in the physical world using various media, my art is created as an intangible set of formulas, the recipe for how to render it if you will. This is a place where imagination meets mathematics meets computers. "

"Because my work tends toward impressionism and abstraction, mixed with geometric sensibility, I prefer a simple subject for most of my work, though there are many exceptions. I tend to work with isolated items like people or animals, a single bush or tree, a shoe, an eye, a drawing, etc. I like the idea of honing in on a particular and then filling it in with interesting textures and details, informed by the subject. These details themselves become small abstracts. That fascinates me. It’s like getting a two-for-one or ten-for-one work of art with lots of mini-works within that can be appreciated over time, as a whole or as parts.

This holiday season, please think about the gift of fine algorithmic art!  I never liked the fact that great art was so expensive and out of reach for the average buyer.  That is one big reason that I've spent my life trying to bring it into the affordable range, even at larger sizes.  Fine art should have five qualities to make it a great addition to your living space and life.
♦ Great subject matter
♦ Pleasing colors
♦ Interesting details and composition
♦ Originality
♦ Produced out of quality materials
When all of these components are present, you have not only a great work of art but a conversation starter for years to come that can be handed down to others or from an solid investment standpoint, sold for more than you purchased it for.

Vector Art Labs to Donate Proceeds to Hurricane Victims.

Vector Art Labs, specializing in high quality vector art, has partnered with inventor, Master Programmer and Artist Peter McClard to launch its new website http://VectorArtLabs.com  which supplies artwork to individual collectors as well as the hospitality, healthcare, interior design and architectural industries.  During the months of September and October, the company will donate 25% of proceeds from sales to the Hurricane Relief Fund.

Vallejo, CA (PRWEB) September 4, 2017-- Vector Art Labs, specializing in digital and ready-to-hang vector artwork, announces the launch of http://VectorArtLabs.com and partnership with Artist Peter McClard for world-wide sales and distribution of his innovative artwork.
The website will showcase McClard’s proprietary, high caliber, original art. The company has also announced that 25% of the proceeds from sales during the month of September and October, 2017 will be donated to the Hurricane Relief Fund.
 

Vector Art Labs was formed in 2017 in Vallejo, CA to showcase the voluminous collection of work created by Artist McClard in extensive portfolios dating back to 2007.  “We are thrilled to be working closely with Peter to make his artwork available to wider audiences through our website http://VectorArtLabs.com and social media channels.  Collectors and organizations with need for art can choose individual works offered as digital files or on variety of ready-to-hang media options including canvas, metal, paper and wall decal.”, stated Otto Werlin, CEO of Vector Art Labs.  “Early exposure on social media channels, Instagram https://www.instagram.com/vector_art_labs and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/VectorArtLabs , has been prolific.  It’s been gratifying to help individuals, collectors as well as industry gain access to totally unique art that moves them and/or meets their needs while at the same time permitting us to be able to donate to the Hurricane Relief Fund through the Global Giving charity at https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/hurricane-harvey-relief-fund/  .”

“I have been working since the 1980's on a proprietary art system I refer to as the Art Fountain,” stated Artist Peter McClard. “The subjects and compositions I choose vary extensively from photographs to existing art works and original compositions but I tend to like simple subjects that explore the beauty or facets of ordinary objects or a person or an animal which I then abstract. I seek to combine the power and infinitude of mathematics with the aesthetics of color, composition and texture in an organic, non-technological way. The larger this art is viewed, the more it can be appreciated for the fine details it contains. As such, my art is theoretically conceived to be larger than I can possibly make it. Vector art can be printed any size up to that of a skyscraper and on any material imaginable from paper, canvas and metal to textiles and glass.  I believe Vector Art is the most eternal form of art since math never decays and I love it for its perfect clarity.”  Vector Art Labs was founded to showcase and make the vast art collection of Artist Peter McClard available to audiences world-wide.  Many ready-to-hang pieces are available for purchase at www.vectorartlabs.com with larger portfolios available for viewing at www.McClard.tv .

How to bring the wonderful artwork of inventor, master programers and artist Peter McClard to market?   This is the task I was faced with in late 2016 when our collaboration commenced.   Early on I contracted with one of the cheap "Build your own website" purveyors.  Not having a clue as to how to build a website to sell highly desirable collectors art, I started down this avenue and found myself pretty well lost.
