A friend who designs custom wedding invites gifted me a bag of left over envelopes and paper scraps. This project was very intuitive and improvisational. I played with drawing on both sides of thin paper with marker so that the colors would bleed through and interact. This is something I would like to explore more maybe in a bit more thought out fashion. I had fun hiding little drawings in the envelopes for people to discover. Ever since I fell in love with the Griffin and Sabine trilogy as a teenager, I was intrigued by getting to unveil something while reading or looking through a book. The envelope is perfect for that. There are many narrative possibilities but here I stayed pretty abstract.
What fun paper play! I like the idea of hiding things in the envelopes (I too loved Griffin and Sabine).
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog, over from AEDM. I'm loving your work and wishing I'd discovered it sooner!
Your illustrations are so original and fun. You are a very talented illustrator. I would love to invest in a company to promote your work. Maybe you should do some research on how we could collaborate into getting your illustration to a finished product.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! You've combined my two favourite things...stationery and art! :)
