Moo-Manthropologie
My niece and nephew both have birthdays in the beginning of February. For the last two years it been difficult getting them gifts, so this year I just made them something. Recently, I have been influenced by Mark Weaver and Making Something Cool Every Day. Choosing to make things by hand, I created the simple pieces below. They took about 1-2 hours each.
Moo-Man Walks On Birthday
The piece above I created for my nephew Nicholas. Acrylic paint, pencil and pen mixed together with scraps of an old 2003 Strength skateboard magazine featuring Russ Pope. The bull is Russ Pope’s work.
Below is another collage piece from a number of different magazines, but the main image of the woman is from a recent Anthropologie catalog. Grid systems and the use of “activators” to enhance negative space interests me. In this piece I am using the light mint circle to create a point of interest between the circle and the two short horizontal bars.
I hope you like the flowers.
Flowers say so much (?) yet are such a cliche. I find this card highly original and incredibly thoughtful. Well done.
