EnglishWho Is Behind The Art of Technology Catalog?
Updated
The Art of Technology Catalog is the military fine art catalog of Blair Art Studios, a company founded in North Carolina in 1989. The catalog features paintings by Dru Blair and other artists, presented as dramatic military fine art prints. If you want to know who runs the site, where the artwork comes from, or how to reach the studio, the details below come from the catalog's own pages.
The studio and the artist
Blair Art Studios is the business behind drublair.com. The catalog describes its work as "portrayals of dramatic military fine art prints that celebrate freedom through strength." Dru Blair is the named artist, and the catalog also credits "other artists," so the collection is not limited to a single painter.
The studio's stated history begins in 1989 in North Carolina. A blog post from November 22, 2012 notes that after leaving an older site dormant for a couple of years, Dru Blair and crew rebuilt drublair.com with a new look and brought back images that had not been promoted for some time.
What the catalog covers
The store is organized by subject rather than by artist. Browsing the categories gives a quick sense of the range:
| 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 |
Aviation subjects dominate, with bombers and fighters carrying the largest counts. Armor, naval aviation, reconnaissance, and historic paintings round out the military side, while a small wildlife section sits outside it.
Beyond prints: classes and originals
Two other parts of the site matter if you are trying to understand the operation behind the catalog.
The Blair School of Art. The catalog states the school has trained thousands of artists since 1997 who want to add more realism to their work. Classes are a separate menu item from the Store, so the studio's activity is not only print sales.
Original paintings. A blog post dated September 14, 2015 announced that, due to popular demand, Dru Blair decided to offer a select number of original paintings for sale. The post notes they were professionally appraised and would be available only for a limited time. That is a dated announcement rather than a standing offer, so treat availability as something to confirm directly rather than assume.
Contact and company details
The About Us page and footer provide the studio's contact information:
- Address: Blair Art Studios, 4935 Buckhead Road, Blair, SC 29015
- Telephone: (803) 630-8450
- Email: [email protected]
The site also lists a Facebook link and an email newsletter signup. The footer credits the ecommerce software to Shopify and the design to PixelUnion, which tells you the store runs on a standard hosted shopping platform.
What this means if you are deciding whether to buy
The catalog is a long-running studio operation rather than an anonymous print-on-demand shop: a named artist, a school tied to that artist's teaching, a physical address, and a phone number you can call. The trade-off is that the site itself is thin on current commercial detail. The blog's most recent visible posts date to 2015 and 2012, and the catalog pages do not state prices, shipping terms, or edition sizes in the material available here.
If you want a specific print, an original, or a class seat, the practical path is to browse the category you care about and then confirm availability, price, and shipping with the studio using the phone number or email above.
