WE BUY YOUR KIDS - RISO PRINT (ABOVE)MICHEL BOUVET - Theatrical Poster (BELOW)
I've been sitting in Hamer Hall in Melbourne the last three days listening to some amazing (and not-so-amazing) speakers, delivering their thoughts on design and it's place in our society.
I've come away from it inspired to keep doing what I do (not that I was going to stop) and more enlightened having discovered artists such as Theo Jansen and Michel Bouvet
(amazing poster artist from France - his work is pictured above).Sonny Day and Biddy Maroney who make up We Buy Your Kids also spoke, they are represented by the same agency as me. They had some signed RISO prints for sale at the Magnation store that was set up for the event, at $30 a pop I couldn't not buy one. There were four to choose from and I scored the one pictured at the top of this post. I love that it's black and evil and a little bit Neckface. It's gone on the pile of prints waiting to be framed, a work in progress - I'm adding to this collection whenever I see something amazing that won't let me part with it. The most recent aquisitions prior to todays are some Amy Dover's and Marylin Neuhart's. It's going to be the most kick ass wall of images.... I can't wait till it comes together xxx
