MOTMOT SHOP WINDOW!

DRAWING NEEDS ANNOUNCEMÈNT!

From Saturday the 31. of October we will be shining from one of the shop windows at the formidable MOTMOT SHOP in Vienna - KIRCHENGASSE 36 (please CLICK-CLICK!), there we present some of our known things like CARDS, BUTTONS and BAGS - each and everyone fitted with an original drawing. Yes you heard right friends, whatever you choose to get from us is a item with a handdrawn design that only you will have. That's much in occurance with the cool things our friendly friends Anna and Steve from the MOTMOT Shop are making, but we'll get to that later. We made a special collection of our things for them, so all in the window is only to be seen and to get at the MOTMOT's.

In addition to that there will also be a drawn tapestry set on the walls of the window. It's gonna be quite big - and it was just as big fun as that to draw it for sure.

Both the MOTMOT's and us have a thing with producing our wares on the spot - It's one of the nicest and funnest things at the MOTMOT SHOP to go in, choose your design and your fave garment and get it printed right away. And that's screenprinting I'm talking about, not the usual iron-on kind of thing - WOW! That's one reason why I fell in love with the store immediatly. Sooo, we will merge our stupendous qualities on the 6th of November at the 6th district BLOCK PARTY, where I will be drawing at the shop and the MOTMOT's will have some extra specials ready for you. I'll draw some of our CARDS, as well as large size BUTTONS made after your wishes and buttonized right away for you to take home.

As you can imagine we're PRETTY excited about that! Below you can see some of the drawings I was working on for the window, I will update you on those as the 31. draws closer. We hope you enjoy all that and have the chance to stop by!

What's the word? LETTERPLAYGROUND!

We have joined the very fun LETTERPLAYGROUND site, it is based on the fabulous Mr. Nate Williams' love for handlettering. Nate is a force of handlettering in present Illustration. I'm sure you have seen his wonderful work in action, but just in case, ...you can find him HERE.

Letterplayground strikes me as a place where you can go crazy with letters like you always wanted to! On there -----> WE ARE HERE! It gives for some good kicks to just goof (in a positive way...) around with your ideas without the pressure of a certain sense behind the work itself but yet to have a challenging way of getting to a result. So we felt obliged to present the latest in potato lettering fashion!

Important PS: All potatoes where eaten of course!

SUMMER CARDS - VOL. 2

Along with 30 other cards, we have done a special 20 piece set of our SUMMER EDITION Petal for Schallert Blumen in Bludenz/Austria.


Here are some cards in overlay infront of a light.

DRAWING SHOW and more cards

On Saturday, first of August 2009 my (= Simon, Hi everybody!) drawing show will open at our friends Jan's excellent Restaurant/Café FREIGEIST in Lustenau! Jan is a crazy good cook, who takes many of the good things of his fabulous seasonal kitchen directly from his own garden behind the house. Rarely seen herbs and even some blossoms find way into the salads and dishes. You'd wonder how delicious and well tasting they can be! YUM!

The drawings will circle around my usual topics of nature, vegetation, plants and flowers - all things that are strong in Jans cooking. Since I am very food savy, I enjoy this collaboration immensly. It's very cool to do this together with him and it promises to be loads of fun. If you are around the area we'd be pleased to see you on saturday evening, I think Jan will have some special treats ready...
The show will be up for at least six months after that, accompanying the eatery. I will document it for everyone not around, firstly on our TWITTER, then by fotos here on the Blog when I'm back from setting it up.

Now for the art:
There will be 12 drawings on constant display for instant sale. six will be colored, six black and white. The prices range from 120€ - 150€, the format is 30 by 20cm on Fabriano paper. A special something is also in the works, secret as of yet. You gotta sneak by to check it out.

From now on there will be a selection of 20 of our cards for sale there, some drawn buttons as well. Five new pieces of the first meadow set will be there, here are the DRAWINGS for those!
