Studio brief 2 : Creative presence -- Intial idea

Bfgf!



Bfgf is an art brand run out of Los Angeles by Lilian Martinez. Her work exists across a range of different products - such as cushions, rugs, silk scarves, ceramics and paintings.










WHY HER?

I would like to build a better understanding of how you can successful form and run an art brand, as potentially I would like to create one of my own.

WHAT DO I WANT TO KNOW ?

I would ask questions relevant to her products and art brand in terms of starting up, expenses, production, shipping, marketing/promotion, stocking in shops, pop ups, being a part of collectives ect.

HOW WOULD THIS BENEFIT ME ?

I think having this knowledge and understanding would give me the confidence and tools to start developing my own product line/art brand in conjunction with my practice. 

HOW TO GET IN CONTACT ?

Well she lives in Los Angeles so a face to face is pretty much out of the question. I do have her email as I have bought some of her products, but I feel as a fellow creative (and taking a guess at her character) she would appreciate a fun package or letter as an initial point of contact. I think this would capture her attention and get the project off on the right foot.
