Win a Darrel Morris “Kristoff Still Life” Cigar Art Print
Darrel is a friend of many of us here at Blind Man’s Puff. He creates amazing drawings and scrimshaw artwork. Some of his art includes cigars although he covers many other subjects.
An excerpt from Darrel’s website: “As an artist I frequently try and combine my interests with my artistic pursuits. This is why pirates and Renaissance themes tend to appear frequently in my work. There are so many fantastic models just walking around at Renaissance Fairs that it would be a shame to not use them in my work.
The same idea applies to the many incredible people and companies that I encounter as a cigar enthusiast. In a time when Corporate America seems to have lost its way, the cigar industry is a shining example of what business should be.
Cigar company executives actually care about the quality of their products, respect their employees and actively seek out opportunities to meet and speak with their customers. They don’t manage their companies strictly by numbers and statistics the way too many executives do today. They actually understand what is important for their business. The product they create, the employees who create it and the customers who buy it. This is the focus of these great companies rather than short term profits and increasing the value of their own stock options at the customer’s expense. I have begun a series of works inspired by these companies and the love and dedication that goes into their products. These are the first of the series, but certainly not the last. To maintain a sense of continuity, and make a strong statement when grouped together, all of the drawings will be stippled using India ink. They will also be available as limited edition prints on archival paper.”
