In preparation for the launch of Created in Birmingham shop next week, I have been out taking a few photos which I might get printed as small prints or post cards. While out I took some random shots of different style windows. And I liked them so much I thought I would start a little series. So for the next couple of weeks at least Thursday joiner post will be slightly different while I expand my collection. I might start some other series of other random objects while I’m at it (lamp posts, doors, house numbers etc. If you’ve got any ideas let me know!).
If you’re into this kind of stuff, and have any work of your own, especially Birmingham based, drop into the studio and we’ll see about getting some into the shop.
Check out my gradient toast (aka gradioast, (courtesy of Sue!)). I know this is really rather geeky but thought it was worth a mention that even our toaster is getting into design!
Ok Guys, here it is at long last! Our guide for work to be submitted for the Created in Birmingham shop.
We wanted a topic to give the work some kind of consistency. After much deliberation, we chose ‘Love Brum’. We at SMILE love Brum (that’s why we chose to stay here), but we feel that it sometimes gets some bad press so now is your chance to give our city the credit that it deserves.
If you’ve got some work that you think would sell in our section of the shop, and it’s linked in some way to Birmingham then please send it across to us. Or, even better, pop in to the studio and show us what you’ve got.
Hi Folks…
As you may be aware, we are currently planning for the opening of the CiB shop in the Bullring. Therefore the blogs may be a bit erratic, hence the absence of Object of the week!
I’m currently working on another Birmingham black and white print, so literally haven’t had time to construct the usual blog.
On another cheery note, Nath informed us (with his endless supply of knowledge!!) that it is the official day to complete the last will and testament. Nice.
I’ll report back with more news….
Some good magazines are out this week. We’ve been mostly enjoying Grafik and Computer Arts - lots to be learnt in both! Grafik even had a very nice poster with it.
And whats this? Ooooh, it’s a secret!
We’ll end todays post with some more LEGO. I got this for my birthday (the Monday just gone) and it’s a coin bank. The mechanism (made from LEGO) sends an octopus out to grab the money. Too cool.
