My dear friend Barbara Ireland created the image that you are looking at when she was … 16? 17?
I don’t’ remember, but the point is that because of this poster I met her 30 or so years ago! I saw it on a phone pole and was intrigued by the image and was drawn from my suburban Hell to the depths of Seattle to attend this event, where I met her and one of my many loves Ben, her brother.
How do we meet people? What brings us to them? Graphics are a powerful tool that convey so much and can speak to us on deep levels or simple convey information. I have always felt strongly about graphics, I studied them at The Cornish Collage of Arts. They are a language in and of themselves. For me it is more than the WHO? WHAT? WHERE? WHEN? Important things yes, But!
I have met some of the most exciting musicians and artist in Seattle …and the World for that matter from Graphics! I am grateful to have worked with so many amazing graphic designers, some are self-taught some are professionally trained. What matters to me is the language they speak, and I’ve had a few pretty great conversations going on for a while….
