Keen to see who else is exhibiting at Melbourne Arts Festival, I’ve just had a scan through the full list of artists – see below.
Hopefully I’ll find time, by that I mean twist someones arm to manage my stand for a bit, to have a look round a few of them.
The graphic designer in me was immediately drawn to the woven textile work of Emily Shaw, especially the new CMYGrey collection (pictured below). It’s derived from CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) the four colour process used in printing to produce full colour artwork. A great way to add some colour to your life.
The wood craft of Jane Bevan also caught my eye. Jane uses natural materials, gathered from woods, to create unique sculptures. They exquisitely highlight the beauty and detail of the natural world.
With only a few days to go I’ve been busy preparing various items for display. Fresh off the press, I’ve just taken delivery of a new range of greeting cards (main image above). Printed by printed.com and designed by me (of course), I’m really pleased with the results. Printed.com are great for small print runs and if you’re new to designing and producing your own artwork for print there’s lots of help on the site. If like me you use Adobe software you can even download blank templates (with safe area guides, bleed etc) to speed up the process.
As well as folding greeting cards, I’ve been mounting and framing prints, I’ve even made my own display stand as I will insist on producing pictures to wide to fit on the display boards provided!
I suppose I’d better get back to it … hope to see you there.
