What is The Art of Technology Catalog?
Updated
The Art of Technology Catalog is the online storefront of Blair Art Studios, featuring military fine art prints by Dru Blair and other artists. It is aimed at collectors and enthusiasts of aviation, armor, and military history art, and it also sells original paintings and offers art classes through the Blair School of Art. The studio was established in North Carolina in 1989, and its stated theme is celebrating freedom through strength.
What the catalog sells
The store is organized into themed categories rather than a single flat list. According to the site's category menu, the print catalog is divided as follows:
| Category | Items listed |
|---|---|
| Aerospace | 3 |
| Armor | 4 |
| Bombers | 11 |
| Fighters | 9 |
| Tankers and Cargo | 8 |
| Helicopters | 8 |
| Historic Paintings | 8 |
| Naval Aviation | 7 |
| Recon | 6 |
| Wildlife | 5 |
The subject matter runs from modern fighters and bombers to historic paintings and naval aviation, with a smaller wildlife section for non-military work.
Beyond prints: originals and classes
Two parts of the site go past the print catalog:
- Original paintings. A blog post dated September 14, 2015 announced that Dru Blair would offer a select number of original paintings for sale, professionally appraised and available for a limited time.
- Classes. The Blair School of Art has trained artists since 1997, with a focus on adding realism to their work. Classes appear as a top-level menu item alongside the store.
How to use the site
The main menu gives you Home, Store, Classes, Originals, Blog, and About Us. A cart counter sits in the header, and there is a customer login or account creation option. If you want to browse before deciding, the Store and Originals sections are the two places where artwork is listed; the Blog carries announcements such as the original-painting release and site updates.
