The current issue of Computer Arts Magazine (#136) has a nice little write-up on the Wallpaper Project curated by the Space Jockeys, which I’m participating in (and still have to send in my piece).
“Wallpaper, the new collaborative project by graphic design agency The Space Jockeys, is calling on designers and illustrators from all-fields to lend a hand in the shared design venture.
The aim of the project is to unite as many up-and-coming artists as possible and get them collaborating with more established design names.
So far, the likes of Computer Arts contributor Sam Gilbey, Hellobard, Tom Muller, Richard May and Gavin Strange from Jam Factory are all involved, bolstered by rising stars such as Couk, Map-Map and MmmYeahNice.
“The concept was inspired by an after-party doddling session, with six of us simultaneously drawing on the same pad,” explained one half of The Space Jockeys Alex Cicciu. “We then decided to take it online in the form of Wallpaper.”
As well as Wallpaper, the Space Jockey’s site also hosts profiles of the artists involved in its Uncovered section. There’s no deadline for the project as of yet, and anyone interested in contributing should get in touch via email.”
