Exhibition

Your chance to own an original artwork by members of Liverpool Illustrators!

The group are showing new work as part of a charity exhibition Go Pink and Blue 09 at Novas CUC in Liverpool from 29th May til 19th July.

Over 70 local artists have donated work to raise awareness and funds for male and female related cancer charities!

Exhibition featuring Emma Gregory and Phil Marsden - this week!

this is a lot longer than i planned

Hi everyone,

Jane, thanks for the submission info! Here is another that I have found: http://www.ameliasmagazine.com/ about a climate change poster. I wish I could do nothing but make work for these types of things, but there is so much to do! 

I would also really like to hire the studio for a few weeks. If there are six of us, thirty pounds each would give us another six weeks, though I won't be able to afford it if there are less people going in on it, too. Thirty pound is pretty much my limit right now. So who else is interested? 

Just a reminder about the show at Arena tomorrow (Thursday) night. I plan to go because the work should be really good and it'd be good to check out the space. Does anyone have work they would like to submit for a group show there? I have several pieces ready to go!

Hope everyone's having a superb week.

Round Up

Hi All.

There 2 opportunities to submit work for online mag newsugar. http://newsugar.co.uk

Either might appeal, Hmmm, I think they could use some more actual GOOD illustration... Looks like good exposure.

I am proposing we rent the print space for another 6 weeks, by the way.

Somebody else's turn to post?

Jane.

Think Ink

Hi. Shame I had to leave promptly again today, I thought we managed OK in the print studio without supervision. So... We have options to consider on the pink/ blue intaglio ink.

I need to order some stuff from TN Lawrence, and can add a couple of tubes on to arrive later this week I think, IF a couple of people get back to me. Looking at the options my pref is Lawrence's own 'French 88', Prussian Blue and Ruby madder @ £7.95 and £9.75/ 150 ml, we could even add a yellow for future projects if anyone wants to invest.

Let me have your thoughts, you can view the stock here:

organize!

Hi Everyone,

Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I was thinking about our next six weeks in the studio and thought that it would be smart to organize it a bit. Because Jane and Lou mentioned demonstrating silkscreening and gum arabic transfers, maybe they can pick specific weeks so that we all know what's up. Doesn anyone else want to give a sort of workshop? I'm interested in using photographs for printmaking, if anyone (like Rhonda?) is willing to teach me!

What do you think?

See you Tuesday!
