Blue Print Art

I love many of these designs. but what bothers me is the patent like numbers with no notation. It makes it look like someone enlarged a scan of the page they copied in the library. [Yes, I know these are fake, but hey still has same idea]

It would IMHO be a much stronger piece of art to me [and worth more price] if it included in a footnote below what each number represents in their fake patent filing.

Saying all that, really, really interested in the wright flyer. Might jump in on that one.

I really like several of these, very cool. However, the price is a bit too high for this IMHO. I would pay $10-15 for the print and buy my own frame for $10-15 and be done with it. These prices seem excessive to me. I’ll bookmark the artist and keep an eye out for a good deal on these in the future.

The stethoscope appears to be based on a real patent

Heh. ok so some of them really are a photocopy? Ouch. [Edit: ok not exact photocopy, but an interpretation of the original. some stuff moved around. My point stands. ]

but your link - That is exactly what I was hoping it would look like. If these came in that format it would be perfect.

Ditto.

They are art/drawings using real patents as a reference.

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback!

All of our art pieces are based on real patent applications for real inventions, so the numbers you see indeed represent the actual patent application from back in the day.

We create these pieces to highlight the beauty of the patent art illustrations. It’s interesting to hear that you would like to see more text added as well. We’ll keep that in mind.

Feel free to let us know if you have any other suggestions.

Thanks :o)

Triddo? (Also as in I’d be in for three of the designs - my father would be ecstatic to get the revolver print as a gift, the Apple and Porsche would find a wall here. But too pricey for the size/quality.)

10

I would get one if they had Oliver Gal’s Fender Stratocaster. The Gibson Les Paul is nice, but it’s no Stratocaster.

Thanks for replying [always love to see the representative respond!]. Yes, I would definitely be interested in ones where they have the description text added as a separate panel or a footnote.

and thanks for the clarification of the design process.

Agreed. Insane prices! My first thought was the same thing, “how can I do this myself for ~$40 bucks”. It gave me good ideas for art pieces though!

13

I’m wearing a pair of Rayban Wayfarers right now!

I’m tempted to get my engineer brother one of these as a gift, but I’m not sure which one he would prefer. Maybe one of the plane ones or the Golden Gate bridge.

14

I like that the toilet paper roll pic shows you how to put it on correctly… unless you have a cat.

15

I don’t like how they charge $60-$120 for a picture of toilet paper when I can pay less than 10% of that for real toilet paper.

Maybe if they printed the pictures ON toilet paper and sold the rolls for $10, I’d get some. I do like some of the designs.

16

It would be nice to get these without the frame. Real pricey!

17

Come on, Woot, you left out the most important one: the AT-AT! Also, these are/were on Fab recently…but the prices are definitely better here!

I didn’t realize the starship Enterprise had actually been patented already.

19

Is the plane an F4? The photo doesn’t enlarge and I can’t tell from the image.

20

I couldn’t find the plane that was developed from this patent. I did find the graphic and part of the patent application here: USD146240S - Design for an airplane - Google Patents. It’s a curtiss/curtiss-wright design.
