dready art imitating dready life …
dready, and a glass of golden rum – image
i’m playing with a vibe here as i get ready to do a show and it’s that mash-up of posters, advertising, simplicity; verbalizing thought that i kinda touched on in a post below on ‘juta driver’.
bending the genre between advertising and art, exploring size and colour …
the original idea, the shapes the art was to take, the colours that make up dready art, they were ‘designed’ and thought about using advertising ‘tools’ …
true position!
Dready art is a 100% caribbean product: it was imagined here, designed here, tested here – in barbados, bvi, cayman, grenada and jamaica – we live here and are from here, our children were born here, I draw it here (mostly, cause sometimes I draw it when I’m traveling!). So despite what has become the kind of global reach of dready art we try to think of ourselves as a little caribbean company just doing our thing.
