ARTY FARTY

PLAYFUL POSTERS THAT CELEBRATE THE RIDICULOUSNESS OF LIFE

Life is an amazing gift. And also a never ending sequence of awkward embarrassments. The best ones make you cringe at the time but later turn into silly stories to tell your friends. These posters are an ode to all the badly timed farts out there. Printed with holographic foil to give them the sparkle they deserve.

Two piles of black and white photographs of nude studies are displayed on a marble background. Playful yellow cartoon-style fart clouds are glued onto the photographs next to the person’s bum.

Making ARTY FARTY

Most of the things I make emerge while playing around with bits of paper. The first Arty Farty came to be when I was browsing through the exhibition book 'Wonderful Things', a show by photographer Tim Walker at the V&A. Walker selected objects from the museum's collections and used them as inspiration for a new series of photographs.

One of the objects that inspired Walker also caught my eye and after adding some glitter paper, the first Arty Farty was born. The images used for the prints you see here come from the image banks of the Wellcome collection and the MK&G Hamburg collection. Lots of museums share their collections online and images with a public domain mark can be freely used by others.

If you are looking for images to use in your own projects this list of resources is a great place to start.
