Creating Collages

Jimmy came up with this fun idea to turn one of our prints into a collage, and it was really very easy.

We took a digital copy of our print, "Say Yes" and printed it out on sticker paper. This is really easy to come by--we bought a pack at Office Depot for about $12.

Jimmy actually printed out all of the details separately, for instance the hair, facial features and collars. Using the original as a reference, he carefully peeled off the sticker backing and placed it on a sheet of corrugated cardboard.

It was really a fun, easy and quick project. We're thinking that it might look really cool to create something like this on a wood panel--it would really make a sweet, little gift and wouldn't cost to much to put together (Utrecht sells small, wood panels for under $3).

Have fun!

Wish You Were Here

I adore the "Boring Postcards" series by photographer Martin Parr.

The series offers three, small books, not much bigger than the size of a postcard itself.

I bought my first book in the series several years ago and thought it was a collection of incredibly dull, vintage postcards, however, it turned out that each is the creation of the very clever Mr. Parr. Which seems a remarkable feat in styling when you consider the great eye for detail it took to achieve each and every "bland" postcard.

While I suppose they might be, for some, little more than coffee table material, the series of books induce an almost meditative effect as you skim through their pages, occasionally fixating on some seemingly old and overly saturated postcard.

Unfortunately, the books are now out of print, but if you happen upon one, I wouldn't pass it up--it's a fun browse and an interesting addition to your book collection.

New Print: "Let's Go"

We hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving!

We just wanted to share our latest print with you titled, "Let's Go".

We really love the vintage aesthetic and had great fun creating this one. One of the influences for this piece was the Japanese fashion guide from the 60's, "Take Ivy"--check it out if you can, it's simply awesome.

Hope you like it!
