Maine Postcard 5"x7" | Moosehead Postcard | Moosehead Lake Postcard | Vintage Postcard

Graphic, vintage style postcard of Moosehead Lake, Maine. Illustrated by hand. Moosehead Lake is the largest mountain lake in the eastern US. The view is inspired from a drone shot taken over the Moosehead region. Printed in Portland, Maine on heavy uncoated stock, matte finish.

The Moosehead region includes the headwaters of the Kennebec, the West Branch of the Penobscot, the Piscataquis, the Pleasant, and the Saint John rivers. Henry David Thoreau and other 19th-century visitors remarked on the beauty of the area. The region has a large moose population; moose outnumber people 3:1. However, the name of the region derives from the remarkable similarity between maps of the lake and an antlered moose.

PROCESS
We start with compiling a library of pictures with varying angles of the subject of the poster. We sketch from the photos, editing and simplifying elements into pure geometric forms and shapes. The drawing is then scanned and used as the backdrop for our computer drawing. Editing, adding shapes and simplifying elements is at the core of the process. A moodboard is created to provide the color scheme. Working with flat geometric shapes to compose an interesting foreground and background and overall composition with an appealing color scheme is our ultimate goal.
