BROKEN BEAUTY
These seven artworks are from button badge gift box Broken Beauty containing badges from B.I.O. (By Invitation Only) Button Badge Series 17. The glitch visuals by FL@33's Tomi Vollauschek are from his collection of digital photographs featuring broken monitors, computer screens and handheld touchscreen devices.
___ The artworks represent an abstract optimism – celebrated by persevering and by discovering and holding on to occasional beauty in unforeseen moments of accidents and destruction.
BUTTON BADGE MOTIF PRINTS
FL@33 developed a new print edition idea for graphic art label and online boutique Stereohype – the studio's sister-company. The edition is called Button Badge Motif Prints.
___ The super-vibrant Fine Art Giclée Prints feature selected designs from Stereohype's ever-growing one inch (25mm) button badge collection. High resolution files of the circular artworks are enlarged to seven inch (178mm) and printed with love and vivid archival inks on a beautifully textured 310gsm Hahnemühle paper (portrait, 8x10" / 203x254mm). Prints are then embossed with a badge-sized Stereohype certification seal that FL@33 designed.
___ Since launching this latest print edition Stereohype already added over 500 artworks to its collection. The print series promises to quickly grow to be as eclectic as Stereohype's widely-acclaimed button badge collection that already features over 1,700 artworks by over 650 established and emerging illustrators, graphic designers, typographers, photographers and artists from around the world.
