INKTOBER 2023

A little break from the ole’ computer screen. I look forward to daily doodles on cardboard and revealing a bit of corrugation each day in October, my wife typically isn’t as excited :). I did have the kids create some of their own art with me this year. Plenty of corrugated material this year as Rand Whitney supplied 4ft sheets of cardboard for use. A little less dumpster diving this time around. See more from the 2023 Inktober series on salvaged cardboard here.

SALVAGED CARDBOARD ART — INKTOBER 2021

Visit my instagram to see all of them for the month https://www.instagram.com/jordanfretzart/

After creating cardboard art for the month each day (I may have missed one, we’ll get it back though), I did an exercise with some friends to tell me their top 10. This was wild to see how subjective art truly is. Some valued the idea more, some the execution/ just art of it and some just were downright confusing how they haven’t seen the Shaw Shank Redemption. All in all these types of exercises for me are really valuable to stretch creative muscles and continue to get better at both illustration and quick thinking. Well, til next Inktober, I’ll be pot-shotting ideas here and there as I get time.

JUST SOME CARDBOARD

Well this year in art was by far my favorite so far. Learning a lot, getting better and big plans for 2021. Framing blows, but every other part of the process is a lot of fun. Really was fun working with my boy Carl Bradshaw to make this happen and bouncing ideas off each other. Somehow my little man did his thing regardless of the camera and we got some cool memories here. Big things in the works for Corrugated Art in 2021!
