Jim Sherraden from "Hatch Show Print"

In class we had a speaker from Hatch Show Print come in, and talk about the history of the business and what they do. I thought this was one of the best classes because we learned a lot about what the commercial industry likes about genuine prints. It's the fact that they cannot be made on a computer and that they are original. Jim told us that the computer was the best thing to happen to Hatch because of this reason. Most people would think there is no need for such method. But this gives each print an artistic quality that computers cannot give. Big artists like Taylor Swift, Norah Jones, and Imogen heap all have used Hatch to make prints of certain concerts. It was fascinating to hear about such an lucrative outlet for such an obscure and "out-dated" art form.
