OK - we'll be the first to admit it; the title to this post sounds a little cliche or corny. It's right up there with "something old, something new..." or "today is the 1st day of the rest of your life..." or the one that always has befuddled us, "...the more things change, the more they stay the same". What does that last one mean exactly? In our humble opinion, any positive change is good and guess what - whomever it affects doesn't stay the same.
This leads us to who we are as a company. We are Jill & Dave and we are the proud owners of Artscape Design Studios. We've established an art studio and design company based out of the beautiful state of Maine where we have combined the original fine art done by Jill, which has always been dedicated to beauty, and have combined it with technology - which is where Dave comes in.
Our mission is to promote individual style while raising societal norms. With an eye to the future and being dedicated to beauty, we strive to use the power of colors to improve self-esteem, promote a positive attitude, while working through global unity.
Over the past two and half decades, the fashion industry has flogged into our craniums that black makes you look thinner... or mysterious... or mysteriously thinner. However, we have noticed in the past few years a shift in consumer thinking where color is a good thing. The benefits of color are numerous. It brightens the day and uplifts your mood especially at times when you (or more commonly other people) are stressed out. People have color preferences and usually base their choices of products they use or wear based on the vibes it creates when they look at it or use the item. They choose their wardrobe and almost everything they consume or use based on the color to some extent. People have their own favorite color as well. Jill noticed that when she wore clothing with bright colors and wild patterns that she liked, she was more in the moment and felt more exuberant. This concept lead us on a journey to find some way to transfer her art works onto fabric as well as other materials.
After we found a company that would perform this service for us, we went to work on the designs. As far as the end results are concerned, again marrying the concepts of fine art with technology, the designs are truly incredible. Even when we were first "playing around" with ideas, we never imagined, in our wildest dreams - well okay... maybe in some of our more wild dreams - could have predicted how the designs finally emerged. Here's an example of what we mean;
