October Boards

Some more October Boards. Candace and I worked on a Norse Mythology theme around the store.

Enjoy-We'd love to hear what you think

Helloo there!

Working hard, but hardly working...on chalkboards

I have a new chalkboard artist buddy here at North Wales. Her name is Candace and she hails from Stroudsburg, PA. She's a talented painting major at Tyler School of Art and loves, as tiring as it is, to have an artsy job while she's in school. I'm so happy she's here because we have so much fun sharing the duties of the wfm chalkboard artist!

Here are the last few projects that we've pumped out (Can you tell our styles apart?):

Recent Stuff

Rockin' the Rockfish!

An earlier produce board

Just a stone fruits board. I was so torn with whether or not I should outline the fruits. I'm a real stickler for not outlining, but I'm starting to incorporate that more. What do you think? Does it need it?

Welcome King Tut Exhibit to Philly!

A little late to post (just got my camera running again!).

Cooler Bag & Local Hummus

Had fun with these! I will post my large boards later! Tegan, your carousel is great! I love how you are loosening up and your font work is tremendous! Keep up the good work...

Carnivale!

The first of my hot summer carnival series! Whaddya think? I really loosened up by the end, (how I usually paint), but all that darn mathmatic design to that ferris wheel. Phew!

Build a Better Hotdog

I've been working on improving my chalkboard art. Got some imspiration from some of Tegan's work. Though not nearly as intense, I'm proud of it and figured I'd show it off. And maybe it'll inspire someone during this Amazing Race thing we're doing.

great idea!

Hey Tegan- This is terrific- just not sure how this all works. It looks like I successfully got the images on the blog. Check out the bottle. First attempt at any such 3d display. Made from chicken wire, strips of cloth with plaster - lots of work with my back-up artist, Dan Angel. Its about 4' high, so its pretty noticeable! Not too pleased with the end product - a bit rough, I think. Next time, hope to improve technique. Any suggestions out there? Second picture is just drawings of cornstalks on window. I used poster paint. It was a bit runny. Probably will use markers next time.

Officially off my rocker.

What was I thinking??....Well, it does stay up all summer, at least!

Great Website!

Hey y'all,

I wanted to share this great website on 50's period advertising art. It's called:

www.plan59.com

Check it out! There's so much stuff on there. I was going to do a 50's art theme to my next round of boards, and it's helped me find so many great artists to look up.

What a great idea! I will have to look through my archives for some new stuff to post! Thanks Tegan for putting this together!

Shrimpies!

Welcome to WFM Artist Alley

Greetings friends!

I thought that we could all use a place to interact and share images, good websites, ideas, and other WFM artist fun. Since email is nice, but limiting and personal, I thought a blog would be a better way to facilitate group interaction. So, wecome to our new secret hideout!

It's my intention that we all can use this spot to keep in touch, show off our work/critique, have friendly rants, and most importantly, work through artists' block.

Since we will most likely be checking in to this blog on WFM time, it is important that we keep our topics pertaining to work, and don't waste company time. This blog is meant to be a tool to help all our WFM artist friends and help us create better artwork at work.

You'll have to create a blogger account to post, but don't hesitate to email me with any questions if you have trouble.

Happy blogging!
