Colors of Oz by Amy Deyerle-Smith

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

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

The Land of Oz is a brightly colored place, divided into five regions: the munchkins (blue), Quadlings (red), Winkies (Yellow), Gillikans (purple) and the Emerald City (green). Underlying this is late 19th century Kansas-- only briefly a setting but very much a presence throughout the book. For this cover, I\'ve tried to bring the two locations together, tracing both Dorothy\'s journey (from Munchkin Country to the Emerald City to the Winkies to the Quadlings) in Oz, and home, the beginning and the end. — Amy Deyerle-Smith
