NEW Release: PaperArtsy Stamps
New Release
Thrilled to share with you my newest release from PaperArtsy. This UK-based company has just moved to France and are about to reopen - even bigger and better. C'est vrai!
All three sets are deeply-etched, red rubber cling stamps. They are currently available for pre-order from many of your fcvorite craft destinations throughout the world. I have a small supply in my online shop shipping now. Once I run through those, I will also be taking pre-orders.
Inspired by the events of 2020, this set includes my favorite stamp of the new release: the abstracted butterfly - which to me symbolizes transformation, metamorphosis, and change. I got some good grunge in this set too!
This set is all about symbols. The designs were inspired by the magic of symbols. And mark making -- one of my very favorite activities.
The final set in the trio was developed with the idea of making stamps that could both be used to create background detail and abstract focal points. Had to throw in the word believe too given my love of all-things-text.
Thanks for having a look-see. I cannot wait to see what you create with these beauties.
Survey Results
Join me on Tuesday 8/18 at 3:00pm Eastern on Facebook to hear a discussion between Kristin Williams and myself in which we share the results of our recent follow-up survey looking at the impact of the pandemic on the art community.
Staycation
Just a heads up. Beginning this Sunday 8/2, I will be taking a staycation through Sunday 8/9. During that week I will only be on social media spradically. Also, the shop will be closed. So if you were thinking about grabbing some products (including a whole bunch of new MU rub ons) or signing up for the recorded version of One Layer Away, head here cause now is the time.
And be ready for my return as I have a week of daily happenings & offerings starting Monday 8/10.
Call for Creative Team Members
PUTTING OUT THE CALL...
THIS CALL IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU!
I am so very excited to announce that I am looking for a small group of people to join my first Creative Team, beginning September 1 and running for a 6-month period. I have been considering this for quite some time but have always hesitated as I am not looking to create a "design team" in the traditional sense. The goal of this team and the role of its members is still evolving but will revolve around creativity, community, mutual support, education, diversity, promotion, innovation, and - of course - art. If you are passionate about those words, read on...
As a Creative Team member, you will be asked to:
-Be an active part of a diverse, inclusive and supportive community.
-Create and promote one artwork/project/experience/event per month across your social media platforms.
-Work with the team on collaborative, creative projects and cross promotional events.
-Be involved with online postings for new product releases.
-Be active on social media and comfortable appearing in video content, both pre-recorded and live.
As a Creative Team member, you will be:
-Paid for your time, talent, effort and creativity.
-Provided with select new and prior releases of Seth Apter product.
-Included in a private Facebook group for team members only.
-Promoted on a dedicated team page on my website and across my social media channels.
-Provided with support, guidance and encouragement with respect to your own creative career and brand.
If after reading the brief, you are excited by the opportunity of being a member of this team, please apply by emailing the following information to shap97@gmail.com with Seth Apter Creative Team in the subject heading:
-Your name and current hometown/country (Internationals are welcome and encouraged to apply)
-Links to all your social media channels.
-Three (and only three) images, included in the email as attachments, of three projects/artworks that you feel best represent your creative style.
Deadline to apply is June 30, 2020. Decisions will be made by and announced within the first two weeks of August.
Please note that you will only hear back from me if you are selected or if I have addiitonal questions to discuss. In addition, depending on the number of applications, I may not have the time to respond to individual questions regarding this call. Rather, I will answer any questions you have if you are among the group that I choose to contact. Finally please know that there are likely to be many people looking to join the few spots available. Not making the team is no reflection on your talent, ability, worth, or skills.
Looking forward to receiving your emails and building the team!
Thank you, Seth
