New Design: Holiday Member Show & Sale opening at the AAWR


My latest designs for the AAWR Holiday show and sale. It should be a wonderful show - full of different art to purchase.  I myself am submitting two pieces - watercolors of my time in Blue Hill Maine.  I love this show! Come to the reception: November 18th from 5 - 8pm for wine and cheese celebration!

What is interesting I find in creating design work is how it changes from the initial concept or 'sketch' to the finished product. For many reasons things change in the course of a project.  Here was my initial idea for the post card.  I've been working with the AARW for their post card media campaign and they have been really supportive in working with lots of ideas and pushing some envelopes which I love.

I have to say I really loved the abstract nature of this. You have to sit with it and read into it - but I understand how things change and that's fine too.  I believe there is great value in collaboration.  I also have to admit that I was greatly greatly inspired by a poster for The Stone Roses, see below.  I totally remember dancing away to the Stone Roses with a special guy and so, alas... I love design.
This poster is for their reunion show, how great is that!

This was from their Spike Island Concert in May 1990  Some cool photos here:
