I have the privilege of being one of the ten artists participating in the Great Grafix Challenge, hosted by Interweave and Cloth Paper Scissors. I was provided with a series of products from Grafix, a company that manufactures some truly unique products such as Frisket Film, Drafting Film, Shrink Film, and Rub-onz Transfer Film, the product that I chose to use.
I like to take commercial products and apply a twist to make them my own. So when I saw the Rub-onz Transfer Film, I knew that this was the item I would build my artwork around. Rather than altering a commercial rub-on, I could create my own.
The basis for this piece was a photograph I took of a vintage clock face...
that I turned into a rub-on using the product. I also creating a rub-on for the text on the piece, which is also the title: Time After Time. I thought this was the perfect name as the piece is not only made up of the clock, but also of stacks of rusty, found metal objects -- themselves naturally impacted by time.
You can see all the creations from all the participants in the May/June issue of Cloth Paper Scissors, which will be available for purchase soon. If you cannot wait for your print copy, you can download the digital version right now here.

really an amazing "timeless" piece Seth especially for those of us who love rusty stuff. The product (transfer film) sounds cool. Might have to try that.
Hmmmm... that rub-on film works well. Hope it sells in OZ. Love all that rusty stuff. Congratulations.
This is, again, SW (sophisticated whimsy)!!! I'm wondering what you do with the proverbial "rag, bone, and hank of hair"? Glad I subscribe the magazine!!!!!

Seth, this is such a rusty treasure trove and you've turned it into a really beautiful piece of art. I'm now very interested in the rub-on film. As Jo says, I hope we can get it in Australia. I'm also fascinated with how you attached all those pieces. Great work, Seth!
