“hello Lilla,
I wanted share a project. I have been working on quite a a number pieces for selvedge magazine. It’s so nice to touch and handle as a publication; tactile, dense, and no nonsense!
One assignment thatI was processing is a set of illustrations about dyeing with natural dyes and the slow food movement.`Permaculture in California’ Is one of writer’s projects.
The pieces are written extremely densely..it’s sometimes hard for me to penetrate the text to make the illustrations I am going to do.SO I have to make a start..here goes…

I just start…I was just relating to the colours that might be distilled from various plants…they give variable colors depending where they come from in the world..and even between counties…I was amazed.

See Fiona Richards’s (of Cartolina) tattoos below and purchase here. Tattly also sells tattoos by Mike Lowery, Lisa Congdon, Ann Boyajian, Amy Blay and Helen Dardik.

“Hi Lilla,

This is a piece I did recently for Harvard Kennedy School, for an article about making voting processes more fair to everyone. I’ve included a close-up, sketch and final layout too.”

Our lovely agent, Susan McCabe, wrote about Jennifer Judd-McGee’s latest project:

“CLYNK, the Maine company that makes it easy to recycle and make a difference, celebrated the opening of its first-ever modular Drop-Off Center for redeemable containers on Sept 4. The new Drop-Off Center partners with local artists to help communicate the importance of recycling to protect our environment. For the inaugural Drop-Off Center, our very own Jennifer Judd-McGee was asked to create a custom paper-cut piece she titled “Local Color.” The piece was digitally enlarged to be featured on the Drop-Off Center at Hannaford’s in Portland, Maine.

Jennifer says about the project:
‘A lot of my artwork continually explores the ideas of community and living with intention. Working on this paper-cut design for CLYNK felt like a perfect fit: it’s about recycling, accessibility, local support and the ways we work together to strengthen the cities and towns in our beautiful state of Maine.’ ”
