fkp is getting busy with PaperGirl once again. The art of giving art. This is one of the best collaborative projects going, and it is growing exponentially. Several new cities are joining in this year and between my regular workload, the plan is to submit to as many PaperGirl distributions as possible. If you are not familiar with the project you can read more here, here and here. : )
Posters are my passion, I’ve been making and appreciating them in one form or another for as long as I can remember. When done effectively, an image and a message marry to form an unforgettable union. So here’s my first for this year:

Hi
I opened the screen door yesterday and my cat got out and has been missing since then so I was wondering if you are not to busy you could make a poster for me. It has to be A4 and I will photocopy it and put it around my suburb this afternoon.
This is the only photo of her I have she answers to the name Missy and is black and white and about 8 months old. missing on Harper street and my phone number.
Thanks Shan.

Dear Shannon,
That is shocking news. Luckily I was sitting down when I read your email and not half way up a ladder or tree. How are you holding up? I am surprised you managed to attend work at all what with thinking about Missy out there cold, frightened and alone… possibly lying on the side of the road, her back legs squashed by a vehicle, calling out “Shannon, where are you?”
Although I have two clients expecting completed work this afternoon, I will, of course, drop everything and do whatever it takes to facilitate the speedy return of Missy.
Regards, David.
