The Sampler is working with its Contributors on a brand new project: Exclusive Collaborative Prints -- yet another way of creating awesomeness for Sampler fans while supporting our Contributors!
For this project, the Sampler commissions an exclusive illustration from one of our Contributors. Once the illustration comes in, we whip out the gocco and get to printing! The prints are then divided between the Sampler mailing (under the Contributors' name, of course!) and the Sampler's shop to be shared with the world! We're extremely excited! Hope you like them!

Wolfie and the Sneak Collaborative Print
The fourth in our Collaborative Prints project, this illustration is by Renee Garner of Wolfie and the Sneak! Renee Garner and Charles Lybrand are the handy-dandy doers behind the the goodies. Renee was formally trained in fibers as fine arts, and her lovingest mister, Charlie, is a photographer. They love to diddle in thread while Renee does the doodles in ink, and Charlie daddles with photos . Wolfie and the Sneak don't really do the work, they actually do most of the playing: they're our sweet little mutt Wolfgang, and his older feline brother, Sneaky Sneaky Freakshow

Jaime Zollars Collaborative Print
The second in our Collaborative Prints project, this illustration is by Jaime Zollars of Jaimezollars.com! Each print was hand-printed onto 5"x7" archival cardstock by the Sampler in a dark brown ink. Jaime Zollars is inspired by Fairy tales and Flemish Painters. Her narrative images are a combination of collage and acrylic paint and often tell stories of people and places far away. When Jaime isn't painting for galleries or commercial clients, you'll probably find her constructing mechanical paper toys or at least writing about them on her blog Paperforest.com! |
