Mucha, has always been an artist who I really enjoy. Just wondering if anyone can create a pattern of his two 1902 prints.
They are Morning Star and Evening Star. I love the detail and way he created these Art Nouveau prints. Check them out and I hope someone can take a try at it.
thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure they would be copyrighted, so I don't believe any of the designers here can make a pattern of those pieces of art.

No they are not copyrighted
Published prior to 1927 means they are now in the public domain.
I thought they would be, but had to check on Wikki.
He does some very nice work have a look here

John B, thanks for clearing up the copyright question. I realize this is no small task but if anyone would like to try it I would really enjoy it and will cut and post right away.
Thanks for any help I can get on this.

G'day Jim,
are these the pics you are talking about

penquin1 · 09-26-2010, 03:55 PM

John, yes those are the prints I would enjoy having patterns made of. I did not realize there were 4 I mostly know of the second and fourth one, morning star and evening star.
You got them. Thanks a bunch for putting them up for me.

Thanks for asking ;Jim.
I worked on it some three hours in the morning and about some two hours in the evening today.Totally around 5 or 6 hours I think.Outlining and shaping the patterns do not take more than twenty minutes,but working on them with computer(I don't use any special photoshop program ,but the standard Paint Program of my computer) takes most of the time.
