About two years ago I started working on a little side project, which I began posting on Instagram. At the time, I didn’t really want to make a big song and dance about it, as I found it nicer having just a few close friends following it while I slowly worked it out.
To this day, it still only has 54 followers.
It’s also the first instagram I’ve done that doesn’t completely rely on my drawing ability, which was such a refreshing change when I started it.
The idea was to trawl through thousands and thousands of Public Domain Images and then start playing around with them, remixing and reinterpreting them, and turning them into something unexpected and hopefully delightful or at worst, thought-provoking.
Not a new idea by any stretch, but one I thoroughly enjoy the challenge of.
(I’m still going to keep it small scale, and so for now treat it as a little perk for my handful of paid subscribers. So, I’m sorry my lovely free subscribers, but this is where I’ll have to leave you for today!)
