Jeremy Booth

JeremyBoothJeremy Booth is a freelance designer and illustrator from Louisville, Kentucky. We love his flat illustrations with a minimalist approach. His bold style is bright and colorful with pop art and 1960’s influence. On an interview with The Anchored Soul he says this about his process:

“I start off on dotted grid paper, then I use a clutch pencil. Usually I draw out the direction I want to go, then when I fine tune that, I actually go into serious drawing. Once that’s completed, I either use transparent paper to trace it on with Micron pens, or I use a lightbox. Recently, I’ve been using more calligraphy pens and quills and stuff too. The ones you actually dip in an ink well…. Then at that point, I take it and scan it into the computer and I digitalize it. After it’s digitalized, I tweak it to how I want it – to more of a graphic design with aesthetics digitally. I incorporate it initially in Illustrator and once it’s fine-tuned in there, I bring it into Photoshop. [I] finish it there and then you have a final product.”

You can find the artist on his website, Behance and Dribble.

Matthew Harris on Cloth

MatthewHarris
Here are a few of Matthew Harris‘ work on cloth. On Contemporary Applied Arts he writes this about his work:

“I have never been interested in ‘perfect’ textiles. It’s the interruption of the patterned surface which excites me. Cloth made imperfect as a result of patches, tears, darns and frayed edges held together with purely necessary stitches; these are the qualities which motivate me to make work.”

“The work is constructed from basic cotton twill dust sheet which I mark simply by dribbling dye across the surface. In order to create the effect I want, I fold, pleat and cut the cloth. Additional pieces of cloth are then trapped between the cuts and layers and held in place by hand stitching.”

Matthew Harris on Paper

MatthewHarrisonPaperUK-based textile artist, Matthew Harris, is widely recognized for his textile designs. However, we are featuring his work on paper on this post. His labor intensive fabric collages are dyed, cut and hand stitched but the process of drawing is essential to the finished pieces. He has developed a way to translate these markings and cartoons into cloth. Similar to his fabrics he cuts, patches, pleats and stitches paper to develop his abstract images. He tries whenever possible to exhibith both drawing and cloth together. We are posting some of his cloth work  above.
