Pick-Me-Up exhibition haul
What I actually want to buy was this print by Lucie Sheridan from the Brighton based creative shop, Unlimited Shop, at Pick Me Up. But I don’t think I am ready financially to spend £75 on a piece of artwork, I did stand there for 15 minutes trying to justify buying the print, could I do it as a birthday present? could I say to myself I don’t buy expensive bags so its ok to spend money on this? Etc etc. But I think I am actually not emotionally ready yet..
Anyway here are the things I end up buying.
Several screen printed card from SORT design collectives.
Loop Magazine, which is a magazine for children, only for those who likes to think and make. 🙂
The illustration is good, but not varied enough for my liking. The articles are fun, it has got lots of fun quizes, even the front cover is a part of a quiz, weirdly as magazine it does not have an over arching theme. I know I am not actually their target market, a kid, I think Anorak is a lot better magazine. I would buy it again in the future just to see how it moves a long.
A Hilda comic book by Luke Pearson, I will do an extra update for this, I want to give it more attention. This is my second Hilda series, I really love it.
A comic book by Isabel Greenberg, who is one of the Pick-Me -Up select. I picked it up because it is Snow Queen based on Hans Christian Andersen story, the other story is the Emperor’s new robe.
My Favourite
This ‘Creature’ brooch from Catherine McGinnis, the artist was there when I bought it and she was really nice she said ” Do you like my creatures? these brooch are printed using screenprinting on recycled fabric.”
Don’t you think it looks a bit like a tiny griffin?
Have you ever bought an art print? What made you buy them? Where did you display them?
I bought a print I hang on a wall in my bedroom, both my husband and I love it. And I have several of my dad’s paintings (oil in canvas and aquarelle) are all over the place in my house but I didn’t buy them.
Foto yang kedua itu bagus, origami atau print biasa?
Really? I think I am just not emotionally ready to buy an artwork, it feels slightly grown up, also it is hard when I move around so much.
Foto ke dua update ini atau yg sebelumnya mbak? klo yang sebelumnya itu print, seperti collage yah? kalau gak salah yang itu harganya kira2 £350 deh…
Iya memang sih. Hey, tapi kan walaupun pindah-pindah bisa beli artwork. It indeed feel like growing up when you buy your first real artwork not those repro from Ikea 😉 My rules are if I like it and it is within my reach, why not. It is better to spend your money on that than buying the tenth bag or dress. Art is a food for the soul. That’s me, an artist’s daughter speaking.
Yang aku suka yang segala macem kapal. Bagus untuk dikamar mandi.
Di Belanda kita bisa lease artwork, untuk 1 tahun atau semaunya kita dan ditulis dalam kontrak. Tiap bulan bayar x amount untuk leasenya. Kalo suka ya akhir masa kontrak bisa beli. Atau lease artwork lainnya lagi.
Iya.. yah? re: bags vs art.
Iya itu yang aku pengen banget beli, yang kapal2, kalau dipikir2 sekarang sih sebeneranya gak mahal2 amat mba, harganya £75.
Disini kayaknya ada juga tuh mba art lease, tapi ada juga affordable art fair. 🙂
