So I thought it was time freshen the view into this part of YSh Studio, YveY, and share some of the background to my Surface Pattern Design part of my creative business.
To start things off let's begin with something of an introduction... within YSh Studio, both fine art and ‘YveY’ are happening daily. YveY is where and my creative inspiration work gets to go digital. From the beginning YSh Studio was born to combine my fine arts, and digital art practices, so it’s only fair that I take time here to shine some light on the how 'YveY’ came about.
Every day I draw and sketch in both my fine art work sketch books and my ‘YveY’ sketch books. At a minimum the work in both has a common thread - my hand’s line work. If you spend any time with that line, you’ll most likely find other connective elements happening either in the stories the lines are telling, or the palette’s and textures. With that said, each body work in both arts practices’, has an emergent independence and strength of their own.
I’ve been liberating my bespoke lines from their lovely paper pages, and bringing them into contact with the world of digital media for a while now; in various forms I’ve been doing that for the past 25+ years. Yes, since 1996, I’ve created and sold works made from utilising products such as the Adobe suite, comfortably leaning into Illustrator, Photoshop, and Quark, and for over a decade now, this practice has included digital apps (i.e it was Adobe Draw and of course ‘Procreate’)
Why? Believe it or not, it goes back to a persistent, deep love of printmaking.
In my University years I Sub-majored in Printmaking and quickly found it to be an Allied companion (along with Drawing) to Painting, my Major, another equally persistent love. Ever since, the two art forms have found their way in my studio and oday, the work I’m doing digitally in my creative practice is done so as a type of hybrid integration of my fine arts painting (drawing) and printmaking loves.
Registering ‘YveY’ led me to enjoying bringing that ‘deep love’ relationship from my eternal fine arts practices, taking it through it’s paces, and moving the often humble, tactile sketch beginnings into repeated or illustrated works that I’m proud of. I’m now pleased to be sharing, designs that can find form by exisiting on a variety of surfaces, for a variety of purposes, and then breathe in regards to their scale that can be small, stamp-sized tiny, or expand to fill an entirely whole, even grand space.
I’ll leave the introduction there, with Just some of the YveY story told today, and I’ll be back next month with more, so get ready, stay tuned, this is where you’ll see it happening as the story unfolds, direct from YSh Studio.
