Desperate Spaces Exhibition this Friday

Bel Johnstone — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 03:58:16 +0000

This has been such an interesting exhibition to be involved in. There is a great line up of artists on board and I’m really eager to see what everyone has created in response to their paper pack. My response involved some extraordinary wordplay ;)

Amazingly all works are under $100 so please come along to the opening this Friday night and show your support for Artworkers.

‘Memories’ book sneak peeks

Bel Johnstone — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 07:08:18 +0000

As I mentioned in a previous post I was asked to contribute an illustration for an art book called ‘Memories’ in aid of Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centres. I’m happy to say it’s finish, there was a lot of detail in this one and took me quite a few days. I’m still in shock that I will be in a book alongside some of the artists I most admire and don’t think I will believe it until I see it. The book is due to be launched within the next few months coinciding with an exhibition at Maggie’s London. Here are some sneak peeks and you can find more about the project here.

Memories Project

Bel Johnstone — Sun, 23 May 2010 11:32:45 +0000

I’m really happy to tell you about this next project which I’ve been invited to be a part of. It’s called Memories, and it’s an art book that will be raising money for Maggie’s Cancer Care Centres. Memories will look at the thoughts and experiences of individuals who have survived cancer, as well as those of people who have lost loved ones. Each story will then be accompanied by 12 illustrations by 12 different artists so 144 artworks in total. It’s going to be an amazing book! and is being launched by Designers Against Human Rights Abuse (DAHRA), Subism, OneTenEleven Media and editor Garrick Webster. I’m currently in the process of working on my illustration and will post some sneak peeks very soon.

‘Tears in rain’ – Time Lapse video

Bel Johnstone — Sun, 09 May 2010 10:38:31 +0000

I’ve just finished another type piece and for something a little different I decided to create a time lapse video of my process. The medium I used was watercolour and the quote is from Ridley Scott’s ‘Blade Runner’. Enjoy :)

Ah! Melody – sneak peeks

Bel Johnstone — Tue, 04 May 2010 04:05:45 +0000

Here are some sneak peeks of my 3 pieces that will be on show in the Ah! Melody exhibition opening at Mart Gallery, Sydney on Thursday evening. The inspiration for my works has come from the legendary music of Jimi Hendrix. I’m really excited as these new works represent a shift in focus from my dot style to my developing illustrated typographic style. I hope you can make it!
