The Picturesque issue

2011-07-14T04:06:00.000-07:00

I sugest visitint this article on the Picturesque, a theme I explores during My MA research.
Everyone who draws of photographs should study this sistematic theorization of the 18th / 19th century. It gives a good insight into the curiosity towards a certain type of subjecs.

PRICING YOUR PROJECTS by Rachel Goldstein
Determining how much to charge for your services is often one of the
biggest challenges for a new freelancer....


http://198.173.235.195/estimatetutorial.html


Mark Monlux wrote and constructed this presentation as a tutorial for
those in the Graphic Design business who needed guidance on how to
wrap their head around the problem of determining estimates.....




http://www.phylliscahill.com/greatsites/pricing.html

This is an attempt to capture the median price range for
illustration. It is not the final word or price fixing. Some

publishers pay less and some illustrators command more. Many variables
are involved such as: the size of the publisher, the experience of the
illustrator, color vs. B&W, and the complexity of the illustration....

I really would like to share this site
http://www.edition-handdruck.de/
great work from Monotype printer Martin Stankewitz!
All hand made (see the hands in the background?).

He also has a project of hand made art ties,
check it at http://pattern-ties-online.blogspot.com/
is really nice to see this rather formal piece of clothing faced in a funny / happy / cool way.

Oh, and by the way, all hand made, which I believe is the sustainable option if we want to change the course of the future on earth. Buy hand made.

Com algum atraso publico esta noticia que não sai do prazo...

Uma iniciativa da minha amiga Marta Santos.

É com muito prazer que envio algUmas imagens da actividade de comemoração do Dia Internacional dos Museus que decorreu no passado dia 18 de Maio de 2009 em Cachopo.

A actividade contou com o apoio do Centro Paroquial de Cachopo e com a Escola Básica de Cachopo envolvendo 22 participantes, que seleccionando imagens do património cultural e natural da freguesia de Cachopo, puderam experimentar o desenho a aparo e tinta da china e as aguarelas a café.

Deixou-se de lado as agulhas de croché e as manhãs dos programas televisivos, ou as matérias lectivas dos meninos de Cachopo e pudemos juntos partilhar as técnicas de desenho e pintura na representação de moinhos, palheiros ou os elementos vegetais...

Os resultados foram surpreendentes, e quem sabe não haverá uma exposição destes novos / menos novos artistas de Cachopo!

Até breve!
