ORCHID STUDIES





We love old botanical prints and the whole aesthetic feeling of botanical visuals in the 19th century. These were done in the vein of studying that period of reproduction and drawing. Quite simple and clean and of course not as elaborative as the work that goes into the classic look of drawings that become etchings for bookprinting.

I formerly drew them to cut them out and arrange them separatly, but how they ended up on the paper kind of worked, so I let them be like that.

The family of Orchids has some of the most weird and beautiful plants around, they have become pretty much household names when it comes to bringing a delicate but endurable flower to your home. In the jungle they can grow to massive conglomerates of plants. The botanical garden in New York has one of the largest Orchids in the world we are told. This thing only blooms once a year, in many small sets of flowers hanging down from it's massive strings. We caught it as it was just loosing the petals when we went there last time.

The whole show will be continuing until January 2010, maybe we will update it once again before the decade goes into the final stretch. Sooooo, everyone in Lustenau, Austria on Friday the 4th of December, please check in and have one of the fantastic Freigeist sandwiches with us!"

HITs and MISSES



I think when looking at the way of the "production" of things, the turnout of work that's not as I imagined it to be, is as good as the work that in the end, meets with idea I had in mind when starting it. These two drawings for the second part of the FREIGEIST SHOW didn't make it to their last line, I saw they wouldn't look as fitting as I hoped. So, do it all over again!

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!
