This is my attempt of lettering art - and yes I do notice the embarrassing typo on the word 'drinking'. It was a late night work to catch up the deadline, oh well. Artwork theme: what I do with my friends.

This brief is inspired by Giant Robot's current exhibition Post-it Number 8 which involves over 260 artists transforming the humble square into pieces of art. We might not be able to be there but we're joining them in spirit. Whether you're inspired by post-it's or simply use them as your medium you have 1 whole month (think of it as our little Christmas present) to get your works to us!  Our favourite entry will also be sent a special surprise.

E-mail them to the usual address- sparkapolooza at gmail dot com.

Close your eyes and imagine the colours and textures of paradise. Is it what it seems? This brief we're inspired by the jungles of Malaysia and Bali(and a little by Portlandia too). Since we were so slack last brief we've given ourselves and everyone else a little more time- this one is open for a whole month!
