Aron Wiesenfeld, a celebrated painter, is launching a Kickstarter campaign for his new book titled 'Playtime: The Post-It Note Drawings'. This illustrated work will feature 100 detailed ink drawings created on Post-It notes, with short writings and poems interspersed throughout. Wiesenfeld emphasizes the inspiration drawn from everyday life and the creative limitations he placed on himself, using only black ink on yellow paper. His approach echoes techniques of past artists like Gustave Doré, showcasing how constraint can enhance artistic expression. Expect a beautifully crafted hardcover that inspires viewers.
"I think of these small drawings like short stories, they are based on inspiration that I found in daily life, my hope is that you will browse through it on a rainy day, and be inspired too."
"It's always good to put limitations on yourself. In this series I only allowed myself to use black pens on a 3x3-inch square of yellow paper."
"One of my heroes is Gustave Doré, who, constrained by the printing limitations of his time, was able to tell visual stories that felt like paintings, but limited to only using black and white engraving lines."
"The new book will be called Playtime: The Post-It Note Drawings and will see these detailed yet miniature drawings interspersed with short writings and poems."
