Follow up to Adam Morten's 'Smalls' Brief.

My Brief of 'Make the Bankers Accept Responsibility' has been completed and delivered to me by Adam.

By concentrating on his illustration technique to relinquish bankers of their fortunes he has made them apologise and thereby resolve a challenging task.

Good luck to Adam with this resourceful self-initiated project, I predict great things from him...

Smalls Brief

Final year Graphic Design student Adam Morten is creating quite an impression. His project 'Smalls' involves requesting a brief from those working in the creative industry. The only constraint to these briefs is that they are small, no longer than 140 characters in length and define a time frame to be completed in, either 1, 6 or 24 hours. Once receiving the brief, it will be entered into his online calendar.
He has already gained attention from Creative Review for this project in addition to receiving briefs from the likes of The Chase, Love and The Partners.

Briefs have included challenges such as 'Get famous by any means necessary', 'Invent a new colour' and 'Tell the world you don't exist'. With this in mind I decided to send my own brief:
'Make the bankers accept responsibility (24 hrs)' which I'm delighted to say has been entered into Adams calendar for Fri 22nd April.

Looking forward to his response!

Seven Brilliant Collage Artists

What is it about collage design that appeals to me so much? The mixed media element of which image, line, texture, colour, text and pattern combine to offer the audience a unique message and provides a glimpse of the surreal machinations within the artists' head.

Getting My House In Order...

Checking out Alyson B Stanfield's resourceful ArtBizBlog reminded me of a job I've needed to do for ages. Administrative work is rarely fun but if practised little and often can mean an artist/designer/illustrator actually spends more time in the studio.
In my case, using captions under each painting and print that I've published here, on my Facebook page and on my portfolio site mean my audience has a clear understanding of name, size, medium and year of production in addition to looking more professional. One master document is all I need to copy and paste into these platforms.
It's not rocket science but a small spring clean goes a long way when adding more works to your portfolio in the future.
