Jaimie Walker artist wins Superheroes NYC Brooklyn Poster Project

Artist Jaimie Walker Wins Brooklyn Poster Project Contest 

Painter Jaimie Walker is the inaugural winner of the Superheroes NYC Brooklyn Poster Project. Her winning design will be featured on the back cover of The Red Hook-Star Revue.

After graduating from Pratt Institute with a BFA in Communications Design, Walker swiftly became one of the pioneering artists who made the derelict and rather dangerous neighborhood DUMBO her home.  

A Dumbo artist for over 20 years, her paintings start from the ground up and like the East River itself her images ebb and flow from one to another and soon you are wading in a story of your own choosing.  

Jaimie’s canvases employs gouache, charcoal, acrylic, chalk, conté crayon & ink as her work navigates around her.  

She records data, collects information, gathers evidence from the streets and puts them together with her own and found graphic art.

Walking With Coffee, by R.J. Cirillo

A descent into the maelstrom     There is a short story written in 1841 by Edgar Allen Poe called “A Descent into the Maelstrom.” It tells the tale of a mariner at sea caught in a giant whirlpool. IMHO we ourselves are currently spiraling downward in a similar predicament. Hard to say when this malevolent spin of events began.
