Karson Brandenburg: Final Project


Featured Artist Designs Poster with ‘Retro’ Twist

Posters for Oxford’s annual Double Decker Arts Festival generally depict a red bus as the focus. The featured artist for the 2013 festival used his artistic license to spice things up.

This is Thomas Grosskopf's fourth year at the festival. He said he understood why many artists focus on the bus, but he wanted to take the poster down a different path. His first idea, “Terror on the Square” depicted aliens abducting people from Oxford’s town square. Grosskopf said the arts council wanted something a little more “retro." The current design shows a woman holding a paint palette and brush.

  1. True love doesn't happen right away; it's an ever-growing process. It develops after you've gone through many ups and downs, when you've suffered together, cried together, laughed together. See the link below for more info.
