Oil Patch Bits: AKRR sets annual print sale and signing event
The Alaska Railroad said Nov. 17 that it will release its 2011 annual prints and posters during two public sale-and-signing events in December, each featuring artist Douglas Girard who will be on hand to sign the prints and posters.
Both events will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the first one at the Anchorage Historic Depot, Saturday Dec. 4 and the second at the Fairbanks Depot Saturday Dec. 18. Entitled Northbound Over the Matanuska Bridge, the artwork depicts a freight train crossing the rail bridge over the Matanuska River. Girard says he was inspired by a scene that he passes almost daily during the commute from his home in Palmer to work as a graphic artist in Anchorage. The 2011 Alaska Railroad print costs $55, posters cost $30 and pins cost $5. Following the signing events, prints, posters and pins will remain on sale at the Anchorage Historic Depot and the Fairbanks Depot, and may also be purchased online via the Alaska Railroad Gift Shop website at www.AlaskaRailroadGiftShop.com/.
