Mystery Postcards: Good Crit of the Week
For the past several months, we have been receiving these postcards at my job here at Giant Robot San Francisco. We have no clue who the sender is, only that they are from the UK. We love the work and want to get the artist’s info. If anyone has any information on this artist, PRETTY PLEASE send it our way.
Whatever the reason for sending them anonymously, this artist has caught our attention in a big way. Excellent branding and ingenious marketing technique, I must say.
We like the simplicity and boldness of each piece. It says something and nothing all at the same time. Clever use of simple shapes and bright colors juxtaposed on old photographs and every day graphics is what makes these images pop.
This is the latest one. Bearing nothing but the usual “par avion” sticker and a 67p stamp. For the first time, we can actually see the post mark: “Royal Mail - 13.07.10 - South East Anglia - 07:39 pm - 13902299”
Excuse the crappy Iphone photography. If anyone knows ANYTHING about this artist, please email us.
