'GUN!'
Above is the original colour (glow in the dark) which was sent....
2 months of knuckling down to be told "its not quite right for the show" :'( I can understand though...maybe a bit to naughty or something! :S Gonna keep trying to get into a London show though .... or anywhere really! I need a break yu know? Keepin' my chin up though so don't worry.
I've been experimenting with photoshop this evening and oddly enough the colours I thought would work really well looked like shit! So....I sat and thought / played with colours for a while and finally came to the conclusion that it would be awesome to have colours named after favours of sweets....
Sour Apple, Grape, Bubblegum and Banana! (With one unique colour print to be announced!)
So yeah.....blue, red and yellow didn't feel right as a set :S which at first was a little bit worrying as my heart was firmly set on those colours...so glad they didnt work though! Because I'm SO friggin' happy with the set above - my pulse is going crazy thinking about getting them printed!
These prints will be available from my etsy shop....The openning was going to be this month however due to my limited funds I can only hire out the print studio once a month so it looks like I'll be unveiling my shop in Spring next year :( Don't worry! I will keep you guys posted so you can check it out :D
"maybe a bit too naughty or something"
ReplyDeleteI thought that was what you were going for... ;)
It's awesome, I really like it. Really like the colour picks too, the candy tones work well, a lot better than primary colours probably would have.
I actually think the four together is quite a nice-looking image, maybe you could use it for a promotional postcard or something? (although you already have your business cards, don't you?)
Oh! I forgot to ask, what competition was it actually for?
ReplyDeleteHey you!
ReplyDeleteIt was for this comp :

They didnt give me a reason for not including it in the show but I can guess its because of the slightly more controversial content...its happened to me before so I should learn really!
Ooooo Actually....thats a friggin awesome idea! Havent thought about doing postcards but I suppose its perfect really! Would be nice to have cards that are large instead of teeny ones which can get lost easilly...
The primary colours looked absoloutely aweful....! So chuft with the new combination ^_^
