Sarajo Frieden’s new paintings

Sarajo has knocked it out of the park with these. Yes, I can give a sports metaphor and I even understand what it means.
Check these out with care and note all the amazing patterns and details.

Charming piece by Jillian Phillips

Jillian just created this piece and it’s available for licensing. We have gotten a huge amount of licenses with alphabet images, so I’m sure this will be snapped up.

We’re getting lots of great jobs…

Dear Economy,

We are not intimidated. We are doing lots of great promotions and still getting lots of great jobs. We are hopeful. We are not naive. We know things can change but we need to tell artists and art directors that life goes on. Not all sectors of the economy will be hit.

Yesterday we got a huge job for a major cool retailer for Sarajo to do 50 – 100 illlustrations for a photo shoot for an ad campaign. You’ll see this in early January 2009. Can’t say until then. Here’s a piece of Sarajo’s that helped her get the job:

Today a major credit card company has assigned Matte to do art for a possible cool project. A major tire company has approached us this week for a collateral with an eco/watercolor theme.

Also this week: among other things, artwork by Diane is being presented to Pier 1 for a wine journal, four horoscope illustrations were commissioned for Carolyn by a London magazine, and it’s only Thursday.

Diane Bigda on the Economy

As usual, the queen of editorial work, Diane Bigda, delivers. In God we Trust? Burning credit cards, the eagle has fallen. Just because it’s a serious topic doesn’t mean the art can’t be beautiful. Amazing texture, mature line quality, and gravitas. Art directors: Diane did this piece as a personal work and it is currently available as stock. Contact us.
