Viva La Raw

Healing

2011-12-01T08:10:00.000-08:00

This is a new drawing I did for a show in NYC to raise money to benefit the victims of the earthquake in Japan. I wanted to bring awareness to the people, animals, land and oceans that still need our attention and our support to fully heal. We are all a part of the process.

Diner Journal is a beautifully designed publication put out by the folks from Diner (a cozy restaurant in South Williamsburg with a thoughtful menu that changes daily and with the seasons).

Albatross Poster from Elisabeth Timpone on Vimeo.

"The Bad Words Experiment" was a great success. Here's a peek at my project in action. I apologize for some of the phrases used, but it was the point of the show to use a bad word! Enjoy!

"It's Time to Take Off Your ________ Blindfold"

2010-02-04T07:05:00.000-08:00

This Saturday February 6th at 8PM, "The Bad Words Experiment" is opening it's doors for one night only! The show will be held at Creative Lab Studio located at 68 Jay Street in dumbo Brooklyn. This is the poster I designed for the show which was inspired by Chris Jordan's photographs of the Albatross on Midway Atoll who are being fed toxic human trash that their parents find floating on the surface of the ocean and mistake for squid and various other sea life that they think is safe to eat. Pollution is a world wide problem that not only has fatal consequences for these birds but is affecting the health and well being of our natural environment our families and ourselves. With this piece I hope to start conversation, inspire action and create change. TAKE OFF YOUR BLINDFOLD and build awareness within yourself and your community today.

The "Bad Words Experiment" is an amazing art show being put together by the New and Attractive Juveniles. The show will feature 20+ artists who have been asked to interpret the theme "bad words" in any way their heart desires. I'm very excited to be a part of this show and I look forward to seeing it all put together. I was at their first show and I must say they do a phenomenal job. Everything from the invite to the type on the walls and the color of the napkins is well thought out. Look out for them, they're a force to be reckoned with. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2051894644/the-bad-words-experiment-art-show
