Far From the Madding Crowd

Each Creative Action Network poster is hand-printed and handled to make sure that only the highest quality is offered and sent out. The sturdy matte paper and premium inks create a vibrant, museum-quality image that looks great both framed and unframed. Posters are printed in Los Angeles, CA on Epson Enhanced Matte Paper heavyweight stock, with a wide color gamut and Epson UltraChrome HDR ink-jet technology. The framed poster arrives wrapped in a protective yet lightweight black frame and includes a shatter-resistant acrylite front protector that won't break during shipping. International orders may be subject to customs duties & taxes.

Artist Statement

This cover is purely symbolic of the title, but I wanted to make it a very abstract interpretation. I liked the way this used a familiar location (Tokyo's Shibuya crossing) which seems to be permanently busy and full of people, but shows it with space and distance from the throng. This perspective is further emphasized by the stripes of the crosswalk. The colour used for the title type picks up subtly on the colour of someone's umbrella in what is otherwise a picture with a dull, neutral tone. — Dan O'Leary
