FOR
THE SURPLUS BRIGADE
what ?
we are looking for artists to help make creative merch for the dresden dolls. this includes: making stencils, handpainting/stenciling t-shirts & clothings, sewing stuff, decorating yo-yos, lampshades, frisbees, lunch boxes, music boxes, teacups, children, scissors, copies of "catcher in the rye", etc… to be sold on the web & at local shows. we are hoping to find a core of around 10 people to work collaboratively on ideas, techniques, and creative and weird ways of actually selling this merch.
when ?
starting as close to the beginning of summer as possible, within the first few weeks of may, to continue through the summer. we’ll be looking for someone to keep the surplus brigade alive for the months & years & decades to follow. when we have a group together, we’ll decide on meeting times – a few times a week for a few hours at the very least .
where ?
boston, in the south end, in a space dedicated to this workshop. it is a seven minute walk from the green line and a three minute walk from the orange line. you’ll have to be available all summer, and ideally be in the area year-round.
(the fine print.)
we will operate as a collective co-op. you’ll be paid based on what you make and what we sell. we want to pay you. really, we do. but it’s an experiment, so payment will be possible, but not promised. we will all sit down and figure this out together once the artists are in place.
interested ?
send an email to artificially@gmail.com with the following :
• your name, age, & whether you’ll be around just for the summer or year-round
• your contact information (phone # and email)
• describe any experience you’ve had with this kind of thing before, and any special skills you have. are you awesome at stenciling ? can you silkscreen like no other ? can you paint with your toes ? i want to know.
• an idea for a stencil we could make
• 10 or so items you’d love to see made
[NOTE: we may steal your ideas.]
• 4-5 examples of your artwork
all resumes must be submitted by april 23rd. at midnight.
ALSO !
we need :
• a few big tables
• sewing machines
• glueguns
• silkscreen machines & material
• misc. artwork materials (foam, glass, cardboard, etc)
• any strange bulk items that can be used for merch-making
email me (artificially@gmail.com) if you can donate any of these.
AND !
we are also seeking someone to be the web-master for this division of the dresden dolls website, and that means lots of scanning, digital photography, updating and answering questions that customers may have. if you are the person for this job or know a great, flexible, web designer, let me know. we will probably pay you a flat salary as opposed to a percentage of the merch sold.
