Poster Drawing with Sharpies

Hi all!  Thought I would share this poster I made for the canvassing group Fund for the Public Interest, as part of their work with Environment America’s campaign called Wildlife Over Waste.  You can read more about the campaign here: https://environmentamerica.org/feature/ame/wildlife-over-waste.  I’ve really been enjoying using colored sharpies recently and had a lot of fun making this poster, especially drawing the animals.

  1. Hi Olivia,

    I love your sense of graphic design and the obvious joy you get in drawing type forms. 150 years ago, at the Ecole de Beaux Arts in Paris (the great grandparent of modern art education), their first year (of 4) was spent drawing letter forms–the formal, serif kind we still see on monuments. This was before they ever drew a still life and so forth. The thinking was that it was the perfect way to hone one’s sense of proportion, gain control of the pencil, etc.

    Great to see yours–

    Mark
