Flamingo Duotone

Pink is primary here.

Two coral-pink flamingos among dark palm fronds on a pink ground. "Palm Beach / County" lettered in. Vintage letterpress poster.

The Story

Lake Worth Beach has no resident flamingo flock; the lagoon wading birds are herons, egrets, ibis, and roseate spoonbills. The flamingo persists anyway - on motel signs, mailboxes, and garden ornaments from Parrot Cove to Lantana. At six, pier light turns the same pink.

The Making

Color built in Photoshop as a strict duotone - one pink range mapped from highlights to shadows, fronds held in a deep green-black second pass, feather detail retained in the darker values only.
Distress applied with a screen-print grain layer.
Lettering finished in Illustrator and set in the lower third.
