The idea behind PrintAsArt is to create something a bit more personal, homegrown; a bit of a shift away from generic and mass produced and soulless really. It seems to me that we are all looking for this in lots of ways ~ a more comfortable home with cherished items surrounding us, farmer’s markets, fresh produce, home grown vegetables, dinner parties with close friends, being more attentive to what we buy, best to buy for keeps than cheap and disposable and meaningless. Art has to mean something to you and PrintAsArt enables you to express your art in a number of ways ~ on canvas, perspex, film, fabric, window blinds, awnings. Your art can be anything, a piece of fabric with a beautiful pattern which can be scanned and reproduced just for you, a favourite photo, a collection of photos, a texture, your children’s artwork or poem or story, a family tree or as I have chosen here, graffiti. I took a picture of this graffiti which appears on our signwall - it means nothing to you but I like it. I like the colours; Ethan (our son) has written his name in bubble writing in bottom left hand corner and even though the text doesn’t make sense I kinda like that too. Don’t be afraid to express yourself with whatever resonates with you … With digital cameras today you can capture art everywhere, it takes nothing for us to scan a hi res image and print on a medium that appeals to you.
