Mikisi Curiosities Etc.: 2011

30.12.11

Wrapped: 2011

Tomorrow, the year 2011 will be ended. We, Mikisi Curiosities Etc., Dindie & Julian, want to wave them goodbye. Most of the time we wasted our energy on things we did not really into, like our day job or terrible deadlines. As human, we are at each other's throat over dreams & reality. We will let them float in space, but grasp our passion with our bare hands.

Thank you for supporting our art every now and then :)

Do the Whatnots

(tools of trade: brush tip and felt tip markers)

We've been hibernated after my last trips to Prabumulih, South Sumatera and Bloemfontein, South Africa, and Julian's overwhelming deadlines of 3-D stages & booths projects. These could be the next designs of Mikisi Curiosities for 2012. We're thinking of re-entering another craft fair in 2012, Hellofest, in February 2012 (we'll meet again soon).

Kitsune

Yes, we're big fans of bands with animal names and full-of-facial-hair vocalist (i.e. Dan Rossen from Grizzly Bear, Fleet Foxes, Animal Collectives, Panda Bear and so on). High dose of Fleet Foxes' White Winter Hymnal inspired us to make some new notebook design

Approximately A6 size (11x15 cm)
All rounded corner

Preparing Our Next Notebook

We had this mental picture of mikisi's next pattern and last weekend we screen-printed the pattern on canvas. Thanks to Julian for bringing them to reality. But the color shown here, is a bit mismatched due to false camera setting. They were supposed to be in pastels. We'll cut them into smaller pieces and use it as notebook cover.
