Juliana Wang sent me her book It’s A Funny Place, Japan and I was delighted to find that the entire book is one long drawing!
This Friday, Heavy Pencil is going down at the ICA Bar in London! It’s a monthly event where amazing illustrators are invited to draw live, in response to music. This month’s guests are Sac Magique and Ville Savimaa! You are stupid if you don’t show up for this.
Institute of Contemporary Art (Bar). Friday. 8PM. Free.
Students at Ravensbourne College of Design in London have come up with an ingenious way to raise funds for their grad show, a project called Blank Canvas! Packages containing objects purchased in thrift shops were sent out to many of the students’ favourite designers and illustrators to act as blank canvases. The objects were customized by the recipients and sent back, and now the students are having an auction of the work on April 30th at the Vibe Bar on Brick Lane.
Not that impressed? Let me just rattle off a few of the 50+ artists/designers involved: Milton Glaser! Hellovon! Non-Format! Parra! Job Wouters! Andy J Miller! Julien Vallee! Alex Ostrowski! Stina Persson!
Head over to the Blank Canvas page to get on the guestlist if you want to attend the auction!
