Folly, 2013, 9-1/2"W x 13-1/2"H, Mixed Media on Wood.

Here's a new piece that's been
sitting around my studio for quite some time and really should have been finished ages ago. Anyway, I'm happy to finally get it out there into the world.

This is the cover of the puzzle box featuring my piece called "Frequency" being sold currently by the Heye Puzzle Company. Excited that these are on the market but kind of tough to find here in the U.S. However, they came out really nice and are well worth tracking down and purchasing if you can find them. Thanks for taking a look!

Collage Mask

nobody@flickr.com (Colin~Johnson) — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 11:55:28 -0800

Colin~Johnson posted a photo:

This is a mask that I created back in 1999 for a special book project created by art director Don Besom (at that time an art director at Business Week) and illustrator David Goldin. This project involved everyone doing a mask and then photographing it with someone wearing it like the example above. All of the pics were then compiled into 50 handmade books and given to the 50 illustrators who were asked to participate. Seems like such a long time ago but to the best of my knowledge I hadn't previously posted this piece and am doing so now.

Not sure I love the title of this piece and it might eventually change if I care enough to get around to thinking of a good one. However, this was created earlier this year and will hopefully be used at some point in 2013 as a t-shirt design. Stay tuned.....

Here is a recent poster that I illustrated for the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) "Portfolio Day" with art direction and design by David Plunkert of Spur Design in Baltimore, MD. This project was of special interest to me having graduated myself from MICA in 1995. I was happy with the way it came out. Thanks to David Plunkert for the assignment.
