St. Andrews Church Circa 1960's Last month I attended a wedding in the Philippines held at St. Andrews Catholic church in Makati. I have never heard of this church before and from all the chatter about this church prior to the wedding led me to believe that this was a less than stellar church. But to my dismay as we pulled up to the parking lot my jaw dropped as I was shocked to see a superbly designed specimen of Mid Century Modern architecture before me. Upon arriving back in the US I did a little research on this church and found out it was designed by Leandro Locsin, the Philippines foremost modernist architect. Locsin also designed government buildings such as the Cultural Center of the Philippine and the Philippine International Convention Center below. Apologies for not having any current photos of the church, I was part of the entourage and had no time to photograph St. Andrews.

‘Swept Away’ is a mid-century modern styled high-quality print, of Johnny and June Atomic, a retro couple dancing by a record player from the mid-century modern era, by the artist Scooter. All prints are professionally printed, packaged, and shipped. Choose from multiple sizes and mediums. I believe every person’s heart desires to be swept away in the arms of the person they love. When I was animating for Disney, we had a swing dancing craze hit the studio where everyone was learning how to swing dance. My wife Chrysti and I had a lot of fun learning swing dancing with all our friends. Around the same time Disney had just finished building its latest cruise ship and was offering everyone in Disney Feature Animation some amazing discounts to try it out. So Chrysti and I, and several of our good friends, took an amazing cruise to the Bahamas. One-night Chrysti and I snuck off to be alone and found ourselves dancing outside on the top deck of the ship, under a full moon, with a live band playing swing music. Even though there were other couples swing dancing we felt like we were the only ones. We had a blast that night dancing under the stars and making an awesome memory. This piece was inspired by that special night and celebrates those romantic times when you find yourself getting swept off of your feet and lost in the eyes of your forever dance partner! Our Deluxe Prints are printed on Luster Fine Art paper and some sizes come Double Matted. All of our fine art prints are printed on an Aqueous Printer using Archival Inks to provide the highest quality. For Double Matted Luster Fine Art Paper Prints add 4 inches to each side for the Double Matte. Example: an 11x14” print will have a Matte sized 15x18” *Please note: the 24x34” and larger sized luster paper prints will not come Matted, and will include a 0.5" white border around the print. These larger prints ship rolled in a tube. Our Giclée Canvas Gallery wraps are Fine Art stretched Canvas on a 1.5” deep wooden frame. Each piece will be produced on demand, made in the USA specifically for you, and will ship directly to you ready to hang! All sizes are width x height format, in inches.
