Q&A - Bernie Jones

Tell us a bit about yourself

Hey, my name’s Bernie. I come form a small trashy town in Pennsylvania called Mars, where inspiration is perhaps the most abundant resource in all the world (JOKE!). I got into Photography a little over 6 years ago, when I went to Senegal, Africa. We had brought a little Point and Shoot along for the trip, and the setting provided many excellent opportunities to capture moments that I found absolutely stunning. My interest just snowballed from there.

How do you go about creating your pieces? 

I usually go about taking a photo by asking myself how I see the shot. I don’t just want to capture a moment, I want to capture how I see that moment. Get a better idea of how my mind works, become Bernie, if you will. Following the shot, I usually add a washed effect to my image, adding some cool colors to the shadows and warmer to the highlights. Sometimes I mix it up though.

 What single element, person, object or real life situation, do you think has influenced you the most throughout your artist career?

I’ve always had trouble communicating with others, not physically, but emotionally. I always feel like I have some sort of lock on my emotional expression. So I try to express myself through my work. I feel like when someone sees my image, they see me. And it will give them an idea as to who I really am as a person.
 
What is your best piece of art to date?

I’ve never been fond of picking a “best work”, as I’m always striving to improve upon my work. The moment I take something I really like, I end up taking something else that totally tops the last. I think that the moment you pick a favorite piece of yours is the moment that you don’t create anything at all.

Any current projects/shows/releases you want to advertise?

Not really. if you ever want to check out my other stuff, you can go over to my flickr photostream at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gregorybernardjones/. I’ve got some stuff that ranges back to when I just started my hobby.

Q&A - Kirsty Paterson

Tell us a bit about yourself

 Hi i’m Kirsty. I’m a 25 year old Graphic Designer from Hampshire. After spending most of my school and college life only interested in the creative subjects I naturally followed the path into design and haven’t looked back. In design I specialise mainly in packaging and branding and I’m currently working as the in-house designer for a chocolate company in West Sussex.

 How do you go about creating your pieces? 

Mainly Adobe Creative suite is my domain, but i’m increasingly interested in mixing the digital with the handmade. Especially watercolours and hand lettering. Every piece of work I do starts of in some form of a sketch (albeit in a sketchbook or the back of an old receipt) and then I just see where it takes me. 

What single element, person, object or real life situation, do you think has influenced you the most throughout your artist career?

I don’t think there has really been one stand point in my career that has influenced where i’ve headed, but i think most of my influence probably came from my great tutors at uni.
 
What is your best piece of art to date?

I don’t really have a ‘best piece’ so to speak, but as a packaging designer there is nothing better than seeing something you’ve worked so hard on produced and displayed on a shop shelf, ready to be bought.

Any current projects/shows/releases you want to advertise?

Not really, but I do have a portfolio website (www.kirstypatersondesign.com) which showcases most of what i’ve done over the years.

Kirsty’s prints are available here.

Historically Hardcore

Created by artist Jenny Burrows and copywriter Matt Kappler during school for their portfolios, these fake ads for a famous museum are spot on.

LEGO Letterpress

I saw the title and thought it was going to look terrible, but was pleasantly surprised by the results. It maybe more time consuming than using wooden blocks but is probably a lot cheaper and easier to clean.

Q&A - Oliver Dunn


Tell us a bit about yourself

 I am a UK Artist Illustrator and graphic designer based in Leeds I have a passion for hand drawn artwork and a love for detail within work.

How do you go about creating your pieces? 
 
Everything that I do is hand drawn thats how it all starts, some of the work is then scanned in and finished on the computer but my main passion is drawing straight onto things especially objects. I think this is because I didn’t have much money at art school to buy paper and resources so I resorted to drawing on anything that I could get my hands on!
 
What single element, person, object or real life situation, do you think has influenced you the most throughout your artist career?
 
Not to sound like a huge cliche but everything I have done through out has been a huge influence art college was an obvious influence but I think I owe it all to my friends and family who have always believed in my work and kept pushing me to carry on doing what I am doing and not to give up.
 
What is your best piece of art to date?
 
To be honest there’s not one piece that stands out as my favourite each brief is different and I think what I try to do is improve on each piece of work that I do, recently I have been doing a lot of painting and canvas for my shows and I think this really represents me as an artist but nobody has seen any of this stuff yet it’s taking up loads of space in my flat but I will be putting it out there soon!
and I am very exited..
 
Any current projects/shows/releases you want to advertise?
 
I have a couple of shows coming up this year but I have a big one in Shoreditch London at the CAMP on April the 7th which I am really looking forward to.

Oliver’s print is available here.

Q&A - Alexander Mathias

“I don’t know who Will is, but I like him. I actually knew I left my doors unlocked and consciously thought before I got out that I should leave the doors unlocked because I drive a Jeep with plastic windows and it would make it easier break in to poke around instead of slashing my windows. One of the only things I love more than finding mysterious notes on my car windshield are random acts of kindness. I know I’m really spacey about things like turning off car headlights; but, it’s hard to regret when it leads me to moments like this.”
