I've posted before about Why I make artwork with scripture. But I get asked alot . . .
How do you do this? It's alot of work - its way more than thinking and praying and creating and designing (my favorites:). .
once that part is done there is printing and mounting and wrapping and photographing and adding to the website and yikes the marketing and promotion (my least favorite)
there is a group of awesomeness that helps with all of that . . but I have a special secret weapon in the photography department . . . she goes by Mindy and I beyond blessed to call her my friend.
isn't she cute? she's amazingly creative, colorful and Fun! with a Capital F:) I love her to pieces! Together with her husband Ben - they own Studio 623 photography studio 6.23 is their wedding date! While they are best known for weddings and families, here is what she did for RedLetterWords
she photographed the Just for Girls collection last spring . . .
and that dream HUGE set of prints? created just for her kids homework area!
and then she photographed the Hymns collection this past December
doesn't she do fabulous work? I never could have done this.
But when you combine my artwork with its predictable and timeless neutrality and add in Mindy's funky, colorful style and eye for awesomeness - something amazing happens.
During the shoots I like to hover around her and make boring suggestions watch her and try to learn and offer my help but she set this particular shot up while my back was turned talking to someone else!
doesn't she do fabulous work? did I already say that?
So. . . . looking at Mindy's picture and her photography. . bright, colorful, fun
and my picture and artwork, neutral, classic, and timeless
Here's the question. . .
Does Life Imitate Art or does Art Imitate Life?
