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!
So, three huge developments:
Let’s start the new year out with a BIG “thank you” to you everyone who supported Paper Whistle in 2009. Besides the new year, we’re also nearing our first birthday, so I’m super excited about all the milestones.
To celebrate and show some gratitude we’ve got five winners for January’s giveaway. The random number generator was hot for talent, check out these awesome winners:
Margaret Durow, a source-channeling, genius-level photographer.
Will Scobie,a UK based illustrator whose line work makes me smile.
Jenny Lee-Fowler, a paper cutting bad-ass and silhouette high master.
April Marciszewski a graphic design student and a freelance writer/journalist.
And lastly, a dear friend.

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.
