Fictionist Album Art

March 5th, 2010 by brandi

Yay!–I can finally show you some more pictures of the new Fictionist CD, which came out on Tuesday (at iTunes and amazon and everywhere else, grab one).  I just got my own copy in the mail, so I gave a try at taking some  ‘product shots’.  Graphic design is by Rob Carmichael and the photo of the band is by Rick Egan.

This is definitely the most involved project I’ve ever been a part of, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results.

Besides my portfolio site being 100% all new and updated, there’s lots of new & old work that you’ve never seen.

Exciting!  Go see :)

First Look @ Big Prints

February 11th, 2010 by brandi

We finally had a sunny day to take pictures of the new prints.  Here’s the 12×12″ print side-by-side with the 7×7″, for comparison.

And another 12×12″  YAY!

Inner Space

February 2nd, 2010 by brandi

So, three huge developments:

  1. Just relaunched the site with a totally new look and feel.  Robert is a genius.  All things Paper Whistle are now streamlined, unified, and clean–I like it!  I’ll be able to keep things updated very easily.  I promise to blog more and stuff.
  2. Nine new prints available from my brand new series, Inner Space.
  3. Finally, bigger prints available, 12×12″ ’s—–WOO-HOO!  Y’all have been asking for larger prints since I introduced them about a year ago.   All of the new prints from Inner Space are based on original mixed media works of art that are 12×12″.  These new large prints match the exact size of the original, almost perfectly mimic the color and detail.   Sexy.  They’re sexy, I promise.  I’ll have even more pictures soon!

New Album Art

January 15th, 2010 by brandi

Over the last several months I’ve been working with the (lovely and talented) band Fictionist to create artwork for their forthcoming album, Lasting Echo.  They unveiled the cover yesterday and the CD release show is on January 29th.  When images of the inside are available, I’ll put them up.   It was a really fun project and I’m honored to have worked with the band, as well as Rob Carmichael who did the fantastic graphic design.  More details soon!

Pie In The Sky You Know How I Feel

November 17th, 2009 by brandi

I’m excited to announce my first international solo show.  Lots of my collages are on display at Preteen gallery in Hermosillo, Mexico.  All pictures are courtesy of the gallery.  At the opening they celebrated Preteen’s first anniversary–and congratulations–they’ve had a year full of truly amazing exhibits.  Visit Preteen to see more.  Quoted from their site:

PRETEEN IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE PIE IN THE SKY YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL; A NEW SOLO SHOW BY NORTH CAROLINA-BASED ARTIST BRANDI STRICKLAND. STRICKLAND’S MINIMAL GRAPHIC ASSEMBLAGES RESEMBLE THOSE OF HANNAH HÖCH IN THAT THEY SERVE AS DOCUMENTS OF DAY TO DAY EPHEMERA AND THAT THEY PORE OVER FEMALE SUBJECTIVITY IN A SCANT AND DELICATE MANNER. ALSO, THEY SCRUTINIZE THE POWER STRUCTURES THAT SHAPE THE VISUAL OUTCOMES OF GEOGRAPHY, TOPOGRAPHY AND MATHEMATICS. THE HUMAN BODY AND NATURE ARE REPRESENTED IN AN OFTEN FRAGMENTED, NEBULOUS AND NOSTALGIC WAY. TEXT BECOMES A MERE ORNAMENTAL COMPONENT MORE THAN A LINGUISTIC OR POETIC SIGNIFIER. HER METHOD OF WORK ALLOWS HER COLLAGE PIECES TO DEVELOP INTO AN ODDLY APOLITICAL ACCOUNT OF QUOTIDIAN LIFE.
