New print release: this week we are bringing you a beautiful floral print, Bellina Garden, by artist Azul De Corso to benefit the Pablove Foundation. I love how the tiny images of flowers and greenery come together to form what feels like an abstract geometric pattern. I go back and forth between being more interested in the tiny floral components, or the overall image of pattern and color.
Illustration is part of a constant artistic search to merge drawing with technological tools, to explore and reinvent reality by creating spaces close to nature and full of feelings. Azul tries to awaken worlds within the viewer, using the repetition of shapes and colors as the trigger within the work.
Azul has chosen to pair with the Pablove Foundation because of her own small children and her empathy for the suffering of a family with a sick child.
This print is available in multiple sizes. It was digitally signed by the artist. The 8×10 and 11×14 prints are numbered by The Working Proof, and the 16×24, 24×30, and 30×40 prints come with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Learn more here.

I was in an art store and I came across something I have never seen before: Montana refillable acrylic paint pens. I know the enamel paint pens have been around forever, but now they make acrylic-based ones for fine art. And you get to mix your own colors.
New print release: this week the Working Proof is teaming up with New York artist Jonathan Brierley to bring you his photograph Wilderness New York to benefit Bowery Mission. I have a personal connection to this photograph, I was visiting the city when the storm Nemo hit and it truly was hauntingly beautiful.
This particular view onto the park was quite unique on that day. It’s hard to look in any direction in the park and not see at least a portion of the city skyline poking through the trees, but today was different. The snow acted like a kind of shield on the park, creating an almost perfect feeling of an isolated wilderness. This shot aims to convey that wilderness and a sense of knowing curiosity for any New Yorker familiar with the busier views of Central Park.
I loved reading Jonathan’s interview and description of his experience in the park after the storm hit. Jonathan has chosen to pair with Bowery Mission because their work in New York is inspiring and something that immediately comes to mind when thinking back to the storm.

Lighting Design Collective created Silo 468 for the city of Helsinki, a sort of reverse zoetrope where you sit in the cylinder and the animation whirls around you.
New print release: this week the Working Proof is teaming up with artist Tiffany Bozic to bring you her print Rhino Beetles to benefit Doctors Without Borders. I really enjoy this super-realistici nature collage feel. Although meticulous and scientific in her renderings of the subject-matter, the way Tiffany composes all of the images together, has an almost fantasy quality.
In her paintings and sketches, she presents a largely autobiographical vision of life’s struggles and triumphs. Her wide array of subjects are inspired both from her extensive travels to wild places, and by the research specimens at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, CA.
Tiffany has chosen Doctors Without Borders because they take great strides to travel to remote locations to bring medical care and educational awareness to the communities in crisis.

New print release: this week the Working Proof is teaming up with artist Marta Slawinska to bring you her work Riding to benefit Show Hope. I really enjoy the free and lightheartedness of this work. It really evokes all of the emotions Marta intended:
This artwork was inspired by a drawing by an outsider artist from 1810. It displays my need for freedom. Riding a horse in the middle of nowhere with some surreal flowers is the opposite of my life in the city. First of all, there is a lot of space and action, with lots of greenery and no humans. My life in the city is grey and full of negative emotions. I miss this primitive contact with nature.
Marta has chosen to pair with Show Hope because of its movement to care for orphans – there is nothing worse than the lack of a family.
