Can you imagine? Something that started as a fun game, seems now so much serious – an exhibit!
A gallery from Provo, Utah, is showing right now, in April, the dueling banjo pigs.
The time was not on my side – I had only 4 days to print and send the illustrations in Utah.
But both me and my friend Nixo decided that our pigs deserve to be there, together with the others, so we tried our best to help them travel. :-)
I managed to send these banjo pigs:
It was not an easy choice since I like very much some of the others, too.
Well, we did it – somewhere in Utah, USA, about a few thousand kilometers from here, our illustrations could be seen in a nice gallery.
Fun, isn’t it?
If you happen to be there, you can take a look at the exhibit – there are many wonderful illustrations and you can even buy some, if you like. ;-)
If you cannot go there, soon all of the illustrations will be uploaded on the website of Terra Nova gallery, so you can browse and enjoy them online. :-)
I made this poster very recently for a client, who was supposed to be participant in a forum in Hungary. It was a forum for eco-farmers, gardeners and non-government organizations, where they were gathered to discuss strategies about preserving the bio-diversity via authentic seeds, without hybrids and GMO.
Important part of the forum was the exhibition with posters, calling for action. I am proud to say that everybody, including the organizers of this forum, said to our participants that they find this particular poster and its message the best on in the exhibition (there were posters from over 15 countries).
My clients were very satisfied, they wrote to me and told me how people were saying all the time that this poster really touched them.
I am very happy about it. This piece of work looks quite simple, but also I like it very much, maybe because the inspiration for it came very suddenly. :-)
