artsCape Biennial 2010
The Byron Bay artsCape Biennial was fantastic this year. It was great to see people, especially the kids, enjoying and interacting with the sculptures as they walked through the beachfont park along Lawson St. Can’t wait for the next one!
Neither Snow
I’ve always loved beautiful handwriting. My mother has incredible handwriting. People are facinated when they see her write. She writes in script, very slowly, forming each letter perfectly. It is beautiful! When I came across this I ran out and bought myself a calligraphy pen and ink to play with this weekend. Mara Zepeda of Neither Snow has studied Copperplate and Italic calligraphy in New York. She can also be found on Etsy.
Swami’s Surf Co
Refreshingly different surfboard graphics from Swami’s Surf Company. My favourite is the quiver illustration on the longboard. Anyone know who the artist is?
Sasu & Kami
Japanese artists Sasu & Kami paint inspiring murals around the world in fantastic geometric pattern and colour! Via Mint.
Portraits
I love trying to capture those subtle combinations of emotion that make a person unique… And the moment when the person starts to start looking back at you from the page.
Yay!
Poster design by Nicole Lavelle (a collaboration with Michael Eaton) for an upcoming Portland State University Graphic Design Student Show. 5 November from 6-9pm MK Gallery at PSU. Via 385
Ashley Austin
I love Brooklyn based designer Ashley Austin’s artful combinations of pattern and colour. You can even get some Lovely Pieces for yourself!
