Eventually the time has come to tell you the result of the Me+You Call for Submissions !
It's all very exciting but first, lets just recap a sec; so Me+You is a project where two artist collaborate on one sheet of wrapping paper, one with a 10x10cm repeating pattern, the other with a 20x20cm repeating pattern. One is printed in white, the other in black in water based screen print on sheets of brown recycled (keep it nice and eco friendly) kraft paper. Neither of the artists have met before or know what the other person's design is but, miraculously, they look absolutely stunning together.
We received an impressive amount of brilliant submissions. Being a submission based project we didn't really know what to expect but six particular artists really shone out and had all gone for the same, conceptual, quite 70s-style design. We're massively pleased with the results. Well done to the winners and everyone who took the time to submit!
Here are images of the tiles . . . . over the weekend we will be photographing the printed wrapping paper and uploading images so keep posted . . . .
