Papegirl Calgary

I recently had some work exhibited and handed out to the public as part of the Papergirl Calgary event. Below is a link to the artists page where you will see my name, but not my work. http://papergirlcalgary.tumblr.com/artists

I plan on posting some of the work I exhibited soon. The work is essentially Lomography photographs that I have illustrated over.

The exhibition was on 18th of August at the EPCOR Centre of Performing Arts in Calgary Canada.

Papergirl Norwich Exhibition

The Papergirl Norwich Exhibition now on at The Stew Gallery, 40 Fishergate, Norwich, Norfolk, NR3 1SL.
I’ve got some photographs in the exhibition which runs until 1st of April. This is part of a Papergirl event so the artwork is going to be handed out to members of the public for free. The distributers of the artwork will all be travelling on bikes and this should happen the week after the exhibition closes.

Photographs – 1

I mentioned earlier about my new camera. It’s a Canon Digital SLR and I’ve been out taking some photographs.
Here is a selection. These were taken on the streets of Edinburgh. I should have some more up in the next few weeks. I will be taking a class on Portrait Photography at the Stills Gallery in Edinburgh in a few weeks time, so I will hopefully have a few interesting shots from that class to post up.

Current Projects – Part 2

This is the second major project I am working on and it is fairly big. I have designed 50 stickers all based on a single generic design. I have customised the design so there are 50 different characters from the initial design.
I have printed the characters onto sticker paper, cut them out and will stick the stickers on interesting locations.
I will stick one sticker onto an interesting location per week for 50 weeks. Each week I will take a photograph of the sticker and post it up to a dedicated blog.
The project is still to have a name and I will start the project early next year. A new blog will be created to present the project, although I will post about it on here as well. The image below is of one of the stickers, but there are 50 in total.
There is text under each of the designs. These are short poems and found poems – an extension of my 3D poetry and writing work.

The project is to make sure I get away from the computer and take photographs, while learning about composition, lighting etc, which will inform my work in general. Along with my Lomography I should hopefully have several projects that allow me to get up and get out. I am also looking to buy a DSLR camera in the next few weeks – Probably after Christmas.
