ABOUT BLUE ART STUDIO COMPANY
THE START OF SOMETHING NEW
A Passion Turned Business
(written by the owner, Hudson Harris)
Blue Art Studio Company is the incorporated studio of Dallas artist, Blue (aka me, Hudson). Founded in 2021, Blue Art Studio Company was intended to be a private, online gallery used to showcase artwork under my artist pseudonym, Blue. It had one simple mission; give me an excuse to stay creative. But as time pressed on, this excuse developed into something far more intentional - a need to stay creative in a way that combined all of my artistic passions under one name . As a response to this development, the studio began it’s expansion from gallery to business with a focus on art and design inspired by traditional art forms, architecture, and craftsmanship.
Beginning in 2022, the expansion of Blue Art Studio Company underwent several changes in direction, style, and intent. Through the growing pains, a clear set of goals emerged:
Produce Commissions, Original Artwork, and Fine Art Prints.
Produce Written Content that supports the culture of Staying Creative.
Produce Furniture and Accessory Designs to complement our in-house artwork.
It is with a tremendous amount of excitement that we continue to grow the Blue name as a trusted source of art and design. We hope that you continue to follow our journey and only ask of you one thing: Stay Creative.
WHY THE RABBIT?
A brief history by the artist (Hudson Harris aka Blue)
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 attitude, simplicity, and subtlety. Decades later these remain unchanged.
