ABOUT BLUE ART STUDIO COMPANY

THE START OF SOMETHING NEW

A Passion Project Turned Business

Blue Art Studio Company is the incorporated studio of Dallas native artist, Blue (Hudson Harris). Our products and services include original art pieces, limited and open edition prints, NFT’s, commission services in several mediums, and apparel and accessories.

The studio was specifically developed into a company, as opposed to an individual endeavor, to increase the scope of creative opportunities, provide a platform for aspiring artists, and further use that platform to improve the artistic community.

In its infancy, Blue Art Studio Company was intended to be an online storefront to sell art under the Blue name. But as our understanding of the art community began to grow, so did our awareness of the gap between aspiring artists and their ability to sell art without a massive infrastructure or marketing process.

Blue Art Studio Company evolved from a simple “online storefront” to a fully established business with the motivation of closing that gap. Our long-term goal is to develop in-person and online communities of artists and art connoisseurs that focus on improving our artistic skillsets, understanding art as a business, and developing income and awareness for aspiring artists.

GOALS

As of its incorporation in March of 2022, Blue Art Studio Company has developed the following 5 year goals:

  1. Develop relationships with aspiring artists that use the Blue Art Studio Company’s network to improve their careers and help grow the company’s vision of improving the art community.

  2. Create agreements with artists that improve their income and exposure without encroaching on their creative control or abusing rights to their creative property. We believe in an “Artist First” approach.

  3. Create products and sales pathways that create real financial results for those artists. The Blue Art Studio Co. website will be the infrastructure for selling art, apparel, and accessories designed by aspiring artists, Blue, or a combination of the two.

WHY THE RABBIT?

A brief history by me (the artist)

Blue - the BASCo icon - comes from my first love in design; street art and graffiti. Among several factors like color, lack of rules, and aggressive presentation, one feature that stuck out was the symbolism an artist could create from their pseudonym, i.e. their street name. It focused people’s attention on the art and presentation and less on the personal life of the individual. It was a clever form of creativity and I was obsessed with finding one of my own. After months of passive and active thought, Blue ultimately came to me as a pre-teen while sitting in a doctor’s office reading a Highlights magazine. There was an image of a cliff that shared a resemblance to a rabbit sitting down with his arms folded. At the suggestion of my mother - I took the idea home to mull around. Days later I drew Blue’s image for the first time and decided last minute to add his signature sunglasses. His name, on the other hand, is less symbolic - it’s just my favorite color. Blue represents what I like to see in design; a combination of irony, attitude, and subtlety. Decades later these remain unchanged.
