Over 100 artists have taken part in an exhibition in New York as a part of an ambitious collaborative sculpture project featuring Gerald, a paper dog.

Hundreds of ‘Gerald the Lazerian Dog’ sculptures – which are made from up to 88 paper components – have been customized by artists for the Gerald & James exhibition by LAZERIAN.

The exhibition and related book launch will be shown at New York Design Week 2013 in partnership with British bespoke paper-maker, James Cropper.

Artists from the UK, USA, Argentina, Australia and South Korea and received a Gerald with their only instruction to put their own spin on the emerging design classic.

The Gerald and James exhibition and book launch will take place during New York Design Week 2013 at 60 Reade, off Broadway between Thursday 16 – Sunday 19 May 2013

This brilliantly original piece of art captures London Zoo in a moment of its history, and is a significant work of importance for that alone.

My contribution to Mail Me Art 3. Flirting monkeys.

About Mail Me Art:

Mail Me Art is a British-based project, run by Darren Di Lieto, the founder and co-editor of the illustration news portal The Little Chimp Society.

The Mail Me Art project is here for everyone to enjoy, both as artists and onlookers. It’s not about making a statement or rebelling against the establishment – it’s about having fun and connecting with other people around the world. If you’re looking for a history of the mail art movement or some serious mail art-driven political agenda, you’ve come to the wrong place. This is a celebration and archive of the artists who have taken part in Mail Me Art, plain and simple! We love mail art and we hope you do too!

Mail Me Art 3 has been a long time coming and this time around the project will be called Mail Me Art: Short & Sweet. MMA3 will be by invitation only and limited to 200 participants. There will be an exhibition in July 2013 and a new book showcasing all of the brilliant new mail art! Mail Me Art 3 will be short and it will be sweet.

MMA: Going Postal with the World’s Best Illustrators and Designers is still available to buy.

Cuando David Ryan Robinson llegó a Londres decidió dibujar su propio mapa que le sirviera para orientarse. Añadió algunos toques de humor y referencias que le eran básicas en su día a día y voilà: el resultado es esta abigarrada

No idea what this means! Let’s hope it’s nice.
