Anna Taberko’s Kaleidoscopic Flowers

Anna Taberko, a professional animator working in Minneapolis, is fascinated by zoetropes and loves flowers. These two things are obvious when you look at her work. But she takes those two things, and with inventive animation and attention to detail transforms these zoetrope like gifs, with their ever changing flowers, swimming eternally outward toward the edge of the frame, into objects of beauty that are hard to stop looking at. You may find yourself having to tear yourself away to make it to your next appointment.

Letterheads 2018: London Calling

IOAFS (It’s Only A Fucking Sign) is the ‘motto’ of the Letterheads. It reminds those with years in the sign and lettering game that however good they think they are, nobody’s perfect and there’s always room for improvement. For the less experienced it reassures them that the craft isn’t a life and death matter. and to regain some perspective on their current challenge or crisis in confidence.

It is these groups, the old hands and current-day novices, that will gather for Letterheads 2018: London Calling. The ‘meet’ is an opportunity for skills, knowledge and experience to be passed from one generation to the next in an informal and fun setting, continuing a tradition started by seven apprentices in Denver, Colorado in 1975.

While the majority of demonstrations, talks and workshops will only be open to ticketholders, Letterheads 2018: London Calling will also be inviting the public to participate. A free exhibition, peep show installation, screenings, demonstrations and much more will be available, with volunteers on hand to offer behind-the-scenes tours for those that want to see what the inside of a Letterheads event is all about.

Letterheads 2018: London Calling is at Bargehouse, Oxo Tower Wharf, London SE1 9PH, with free entry 11am-6pm on Thu-Sat 16-18 Aug, and 11am-4pm on Sun 19 Aug. Visit www.londonletterheads.com and follow #LondonLetterheads.
