V&A Friday Late

I'm involved a bit in an event called Friday Late at V&A.

It's a part of London Design Festival.
This Friday 24, 18.30-22.00

There are various activities in the event titled Two's a Pair and I contributed an artwork for a game 'Two's a Pair, Memory Game'.

It's a memory game with big cards. The 50 pairs of A2 artworks are done by artists. if someone pair up two identical cards, the person can take one home.

I did monoprints, which is to put paper on rolled ink on glass, draw on paper and ink sticks where you draw on the back of paper.
I like this process of printing. Ink sticks outside lines unexpectedly.
I didn't have proper ink and glass so used acrylic with screen-printing medium on stretched bin bag on board. could have done.

I'm glad that I could be involved in V&A and also London Design Festival even a bit.

The event is in collaboration with Designersblock.

Elephant Parade - Petition

Asian elephants are loosing their safe living space.
Elephant Parade is to save them from extinction, however, they still need more help.

They need government's help but governments begin to listen to only with 100,000 signatures.

If you don't mind, please support them with online signature. It's about 13,000 so far.

COMICA

went to COMICA last Sunday.

I joined Joe's table. The members were Joe, me & Geoff (ZEEL). Rare conbination.

There were some people and works I've seen some events like zine fairs before. Small world.
People who love similar kind of things come to the same place, talk, look at & buy their works, see new people. I always enjoy those events.

I saw Lizz there and she kindly liked my works and bought some. Also wrote about me on her blog.Thanks Lizz.
I've seen her works somewhere before. I liked her cat's face and remembered it strongly. Nice to meet.

Conversations project

I'm currently doing internship at Frinton Press (helping their wrapping paper project) and got a chance to do another project with them. The project is drawing collaborative post cards with Benjamin Phillips, who draws nice pictures.

He's from Brighton and I've seen him a couple of time at some events.
I could choose an artist working with me by myself so I chose him.

In the project 'Conversations', I draw a picture first and then pass it to him, he draws another image on top of my image, he draws second one and then I draw on top of it, repeat those.
The theme is Predator & Prey. I take Prey with blue, and Ben takes Predator with orange.

Below are the drawings.

They will be screen-printed.
