I had a lot of fun in January when I made 46 prints and those prints were in hefty frames that were 6″x6″x1.25″ frames. The frame (and thusly the size of the art you see) is 4.5″ which I thought was a nice size (and of course based on the 6″x6″ size of the 30x30x30 show (of which I did not participate.)
Okay, so anyway I really liked the size of those prints, and I will do more of them. But I also run a Free Little Art Gallery called Gallery 69 and I want to put art in there to give away for free. So I want to do a series of mini prints and here’s the first one, and yes it’s a two color print to make things even more difficult on myself.
These will not be on handmade paper but instead of (probably really) cheap paper. This isn’t fine art, it’s free art, but it does come in a frame and ready to hang. I can keep costs on these pretty low so I’ll make as many as I can and give them away (in the gallery, of course).
This one is an exclamation mark which is probably one of the most fascinating marks when it comes to punctuation. This one is specifically a warning sign, which is something you should look out for, and also seems fitting for the times we live in.
Whether you call it a “bang”, a “pling”, or a “shriek” if you are a programmer or someone who dabbles in code you’re probably all to familiar with the exclamation mark and using it for various purposes.
For a long time I use the name RasterWeb! for this site, though I’ve not always been consistent in the name. Yahoo! also used the bang in their name as do Yum! Brands and others. Seriously go right now to Wikipedia and read up on the !
