I made this
THANKS FOR YOUR STAMP OF APPROVAL
December 02, 2010I KEEP meaning to thank you all for the sweet, supportive comments about the Penny Black Project exhibition opening this weekend. I am one of a bunch of super artists and I feel somewhat humbled to be hangin' with them, literally.
I struggle with the artist tag. I could happily say I am a writer. I get paid for writing. But art... nahhhh, get away wif ya.
Anyhoot, I am the featured artist over on the Myrtle St Studio blog today. You can have a sneek peak at the first piece I did for the project. Super simple, hey? Art, I don't know. I can go with "doodle". I wanted to work small - the image posted by Myrtle St Studio is about twice the size of the original - and to a theme I thought would translate as a singular graphic element but also look good grouped with the five pieces I did for the collection. I look back now and feel like I achieved that.
It's got me all fired up to try new things and I have a tangram project on the go that I hope to finish this weekend. It's very much inspired by Dudley Redhead's hand carved stamps and a how-to I saw on Creature Comforts blog recently.
