Hasta La Ideas

An architect and environmental designer by training, it should come that Jerome Daksiewicz‘s visual sensibility tends towards cleanly presented schematics. Under the moniker Nomo Design, the Chicago-based jack-of-all-trades offers everything from interiors to advertising to photography; he also had a hand in a noteworthy bicycle light project last year. (Regarding Sparse, he notes that the team is “making a few final revisions to the lights but we should be cutting tools in the next week or so (just slightly behind our original schedule).”)

His latest Kickstarter venture is rather less ambitious than a new product launch… which, as Daksiewicz notes, means it will ship in time for Father’s Day. Disappointed with the quality of extant golf-related artwork, he’s designed a series of Golf Course serigraphs (a fancy word for screenprints) for the discerning fan.

I want to create a series of prints to celebrate the world’s top golf courses but in a simple way that still captures the unique character of each course and is at home in any interior. I’m starting with the hosts of the 2013 Major Championships, Golf Magazine’s #1 Course in the World – Pine Valley and one of the top US public-access courses in Pebble Beach.

I can’t even come close to pretending I know enough about golf to offer any insight into the accuracy or appeal of the prints, but the imagery strikes me as conceptually compelling as abstracted topography.
