After discovering a quirky and charming looking fanzine in the Visual Communications department at University, I followed up the information inside to discovering a rather wonderful and alturistically splendid oppurtunity to share my design and crafts.
Inside, the description read:
"Originally created by Aisha Ronniger in 2006, in Berlin, Leeds will be the fourth UK city for Papergirl.
2011 is Papergirl Leeds' UK debut and hopefully the first of many.
We need artists of all shapes and sizes. Printers and illustrators. Mixed media artists and photographers.
Whatever it is that you love to do!
The art of giving art!
Every single piece of work submitted will be shown in the Papergirl Leeds Exhibition. We will be confirming the venue details very soon!
After the Papergirl Leeds Exhibition, all submitted work will be rolled up and distributed to the unsuspecting puplic by Papergirls (and boys!) on bicycles at the Papergirl Leeds Ride Event.
All submitted work needs to be between A4 and A1 in size and must be able to be rolled up. Please write Papergirl Leeds and any contact details you would like for the lucky person to recieve your work. (perhaps a lovely message too?)
There is no limit to how many pieces of art you want to submit. The more the merrier!
By submitting your work you are consenting for it to be shown in the Papergirl Leeds Exhibition and to be given away to the general public for free in the Papergirl Leeds Ride Event. Submissions may be shown on the Papergirl Leeds and Papergirl World Blog (credited where URL details are included, of course)."
I really am so excited to now, having sent off my recently printed A2 "know before you grow" poster, to be a part of this great event. Not only will it help to gain some exposure to my work in this new city (as I had established myself in my home county of Shropshire amongst peers)- it will also allow me to share my work with someone in the most heartfelt and joyful way- a sense of wellbeing for all parties- and the thought that my work could make someone unexpectedly smile, or to brighten their day is one of my greatest ambitions.
