Horn Artwork and Graphics

 

Fun with Photoshop - a gallery of amazing horn + famous person or painting photoshop magic by Bruce Hembd. We wish we could do that.

If you're not proficient in Photoshop, the quick and easy way to edit digital images for the rest of us is Picnik.com, where you can crop, resize, rotate, change/add fonts, add special effects, and more, right in your browser - no registration, no downloads, nothing to install.

Microsoft Office Images - 1000s of free illustrations, photos, animations, and sound courtesy of Microsoft Office online libraries. Try a search for “music.”

 


Zero-G - We don’t know what this site is exactly - it’s all in Italian - but they have a very cool graphic entitled “French Horn”

Music Images - by LinkWare Graphics. They also do music-themed custom orders and web design.

Unsplash.com - many many free photos here.


Fine Art America - They currently offer 181 items (photos, paintings); one caveat: among these are pictures with, say, a trumpet but no horn - their search engine is not fastidious in what it calls a horn… The quality seems to be very good, and you can order the art either as prints or as a greeting card, mirabile dictu. Cool! Examples:

 

Red Bubble - Wild assortment of horn photos, artwork, cartoons, etc.- 84 of them. Apparently the pix are available on TShirt, iPhone cases, sticker, posters, cards, and prints. Examples:

Jo Sedlack - among artist Sedlack's swirling, expressionistic paintings is one of a woman playing the horn (her daughter is studying horn at the Cincinnati Conservatory). According to Bruce Hemd (Horndog Blog), it sold for the bargain price of $250.

DS Art - Composite images by Don Stewart. Whimsical, delightful, humorous, fascinating black & white art work where objects are "constructed" out of other smaller objects. There is a wild assortment of objects depicted, everything from bagpipes to catfish to elephants, but artist Stewart obviously has a soft spot for music since you can find representations of many musical instruments here, including all the brasses. Have a look at his composite horn image. You can buy the whole gallery as a coffee table book or buy them individually as art works.

We also liked the choices at BigStockPhoto, which seemed to have some of the same photos as, e.g. iStockphoto - apparently the photographers are not necessarily bound to one stock photo service. Good prices.
