Mail Me Art 2 submission
Feb 1st, 2010 by J. O'Brien
For my Mail Me Art 2 submission, I’m sending an oversized card. I used a scrap piece of board and adhered with matte medium a print of an Illustrator image I’ve been working on off and again for a few weeks. I repainted the white areas of the print to give it a more painterly texture and to make the white areas more opaque. Around this I painted and rubbed in some white paint and attached a few additional black drop shapes. Then I added text with a Pentel brush pen, address and “no value” labels. I filled the back with repetitive text and ink blotches. This image is a view of the front of the card at the top and the back of the card at the bottom. Still a little work to do, need to add stamps and may add some additional bits here and there. Also need to address it.
This is cool! I hadn’t heard of Mail Me Art before, maybe I can enter in the future. Good luck on your submission!
Love this….especially how you painted over for texture…best of luck.
