Wilkintie - art for kids
Thursday, November 27th, 2008
Wilkintie is a new project by Jacky Winter artists Niels Oeltjen and his wife Carly selling fine art letterpress prints for the young and the young at heart. The guiding principle of this series is to provide an introduction to art for kids, delivering them a surprise every month, and in the process giving parents and kids an art experience that they can enjoy together.
By offering prints by subscription they are able to keep the costs of a print incredibly low (AU$40 per print!!). They offer a new print every month from a different artist from such luminaries in the illustration field as Klaus Haapaniemi, Chamo, Gwénola Carrère and Joe McLaren. Keep a close eye on their list as they are about to announce a bunch more artists — insider tip says there is at least one superstar in there. Here is an opportunity to buy art by some amazing talents for a steal, all made with care and attention to detail.
Also watch out for Carly and Niels selling their prints and some tshirts and bandannas alongside all the other great stalls at the the Three Thousand Rooftop Market on Friday November 27.
