i love this whimsical – yet simpleness of wayne pate’s screen prints. i am really loving the detail on the pants in contemplating hockney – how the outline of his legs are the same color as the background. i’ve been trying to incorporate more of this – uhh how do you describe this – in my graphic design – but i’m not good enough at all the tools for it to be easy – it seems like it should be – but alas – frustrated sally – i just need to keep practicing… i digress.
check out wayne pate’s work here. his screen prints are pretty large – and the prices are really great – perfect for a kids room – or to add a bit of playfulness to an ‘adult’ room.

Neon letters – a|B
Monday, November 8th, 2010my roommate, Kristen, started dabbling in neon last year, and it made me really appreciate neon as art, rather than neon as an ‘open’ sign or ‘liquor’ sign. K told me neon is actually a really difficult medium to work with & something that looks really simple is actually quite an accomplishment. i love how neon is happy, and pop art-y, and the light actually creates a distinct mood in the room. imagine going into this kitchen with the lights dimmed and those letters turned on – don’t you think it would just liven up the atmosphere – the kitchen would automatically be more fun, right?
