Hello my dear friends,
I really don’t mean to spam you with marketing, sales and capitalism, but you know it seems business is part of our Artist’s life. And if we want to live from our Art, we need to sell things.
And if you saw my last newsletter, you know I have an online workshop for the coming weekend. But something you may not know is that there are only 2 spots left.
If you are not interested, you can already close that email and I see you next week to talk about my life with Fontself lately :)
But if you are still hesitating, here are some interesting points:
Collage really became my favourite creative activity. It is a beautiful way to escape perfectionism and dig deep in uncertainty. And I tell you, it makes you feel good.
But it goes further. It helps you in your work, especially if you do visual art. It gives you ideas for new composition, for new colors, for new shapes, for new curves.
This is analog.
This is relaxing and meditative.
This could be your daily escape to this fucked up world and an opportunity to take time for you.
This is definitely a workshop around well being.
You will play with shapes to create great lettering. And if we have time, you may also paint, texturise and then create letters.
Give you a 4-hours break to play with scissors, paper, colors and lettering. This activity had such an impact on me over the last year that it is really important to share it with you and show you the positive impact it can have on you too.
I will finish that email with a short reel I did yesterday on my Instagram account. It does show my collage sketchbook. Unfortunately, It is difficult to make one every day but I try my best and I know that when I need a break or an escape it is there for me.
I really hope you can make it on Saturday. Again, this is not only about techniques, this is not always about doing something usable. But it is important to do things that are useful. And collage does it for your mental health and your work.
Enjoy the rest of the week and talk to you next week :)
Take care,
Francis
