What art will you get?

From Martin's exhibition "Synthesis" in November 2012 in the Radnorshire Gallery in Llandrindod Wells - Renaissance style drawings on 100 % recycled handmade paper.

From Vivi-Mari's exhibition "The Art of Becoming Human" in a gallery in Cardiff, June 2012 - handmade collages on paper
From these pictures, you'll get an idea of what kind of art we have been creating recently. When you start subscribing to our art, you'll get a small format fine art print (i.e. non-fading pigment based ink on fine art paper) which you can either start collecting for yourself or give as a gift. We have also put some thought into the packaging of your print, but the final result still remains to be seen. If the business takes off, we'll be able to suggest frames and maybe offer some beautiful albums in which you can collect them too! A lot of things will naturally depend on the amount of subscribers that we get. This is really only for starters... by subscribing to our newsletter, you'll find out more as time goes on! You can also read quite a bit about the project on our project website.

Please visit our gallery for a taste of the kind of art you'll get in the first few months. You may also like to rummage through some of our online galleries, for instance my own website, or Martin's blog. There will be a cross section of what we think of as interesting pieces... once we have a sustainable practice, we will commission other artists to participate in this project, as well. It really shouldn't get boring, as we will send work made in different styles and with techniques. And you can always unsubscribe at any time if you feel that we're not meeting with your expectations.

If we don't raise enough money to raise a big printing press, we hope we'll still raise enough for a smaller one. In that case, whoever has contributed and chosen one of the perks, will receive the fine art prints. If things don't go according to plan, the money will be returned (minus the ten percent commission we have to pay the crowd funding site).

What art are we doing at the moment? Well, Martin is working on an amazing drawing of a hat and a lady with some intense eyes... let's see if you recognise her... He's preparing for a show in MoMa Wales. and I'm doing  the demo for a multimedia show involving my abstract photography (for which Martin will do the music!). We hope to keep feeling encouraged by you, the audience, so that we'll feel even more motivated to go on creating art... ;)!
