Here at DEMI+CO we pride ourselves in our unique designs and the quality of our products. Our wall art range is no different and great care is taken choosing what designs, quotes and word art will suit our customers’ varied tastes. We listen to feedback from our customers and these, along with different inspirations influences our choice of poster quotes and helps us ensure that our product range is something that our customers will love. We actually sat down with our designer Hamish to understand what inspires him and what his average day looks like, so if you are curious to learn more about this process keep reading on to find our mini-interview with him toward the end of this blog post.

This blog post was inspired by others we have done for some of our jewellery products and we wanted to share what the DEMI+CO team’s favourite word art prints are from our range of wall art. We wanted to make sure everyone was involved with choosing their favourites, so we have spoken to the rest of the team and managed to get our favourite word art prints down to our top 10. These are all from our quote wall art range and feature products from our word art collection, featuring motivational quotes, simple phrases and some beautiful words.

Word art prints actually became popular in the 1950s, when text-based postmodern artist used words and phrases in their artworks. Word art these days ranges from different types of typography and features quotes and words that mean something to us. A popular option is using quotes prints to display our favourite motivational and inspirational quotes. Motivational word art gives us a quick quote of wisdom and can help people stay focused. People tend to be drawn towards motivational quotes as they affirm what we already know about ourselves and can help inspire us, even when we have hit a blank.

We love the designs Hamish comes up with for our word art collection and all the quotes and words are meaningful ones that we would be proud to display in our own homes. So, without further ado, here are our top 10 picks of our favourite printable wall art from our range.

Q&A with our designer, Hamish

What does the average day in the life look like for Hamish, the artist?

“If I’m honest, it usually starts fairly late in the day. I find that creatively I don’t really come alive until midday and then I really get into my work later on in the afternoon. I enjoy late nights, as these are definitely the best time for me to really start gaining momentum. Typically, I tend to spend most of the day time researching and getting everything ready that I need, before I start my evening of work. Inspiration tends to strike me earlier in the day, although I do spend the earlier part of the day talking to clients and completing the admin side of things - so all of the not so fun stuff earlier on in the day!”

What would you say is the best part of your day and your favourite thing about what you do?

“My favourite part would definitely have to be the creating. Being creative is what I love and it’s what gives me the most satisfaction in my job. I have to admit that creating print and word art for homewares is one of my favourite aspects of what I do. There is a great deal of freedom with art for the home be it line art, modern art, art deco and also the fun, cheeky quotes I put my hand to. The admin part of my day is a necessity but the best part is when everyone I know is asleep and I can quietly create away.”

What do you find the most challenging aspect of being an artist and designer?

“There have been many challenges that I have faced, from turning my passion in to a business, obstacles that have come my way and creative blocks. Luckily, I have been in the game for some time and experience has taught me so much. I have learnt that it is all about how you handle situations and the type of solutions you can come up with to conquer each challenge. For example, when I get creative blocks I need to go to places where I can get some stillness and calm which then sparks my inspiration, it can be tough sometimes but you have to learn to manage it. Being an artist does come with a few cons like most things, but it had its pros but I wouldn’t change what I do for the world.”

How do you manage during busy periods, like Christmas when you have commissions to work on and new art to produce?

“In busy periods, it can sometimes be tricky to remain motivated and inspired when you are nearing a deadline or during festive periods. I am very lucky that all the clients I work with tend to give me plenty of notice and time to make art prints and that helps me to manage a lot. It is challenging to be creative when you are under pressure, but as I mentioned in the earlier answer, I often find getting to a different place to tune out works wonders in finding calm, balance and inspiration.”

A bit of a personal one now, what kind of wall art do you like to have in your own house?

“I have actually never been asked this before and it is a bit of secret! I am a big fan of art from the 1970’s era and I am working on my own art collection slowly but surely! My favourite from the one I have done with DEMI+CO is a difficult one to pick but I do really like the Highland Cow 1 black and white wall art print and the Get Naked word art as I find it so cheeky! I guess I am a bit biased but I think that they are all so good and I’ve heard lovely feedback on them from the team and their clients which is great!”

 

We hope that our conversation with Hamish was interesting to read and that it gave a good insight into the day-to-day of our designer. We love sharing our top favourites with you, as we all have different tastes and it is great to see what the rest of our team love. We also really love hearing from our customers, as customer satisfaction is a huge part of our ethos and what drives us as a business.

When we first started DEMI+CO our first few magnetic bracelets were all copper, we never realised the popularity of copper bracelets and copper magnetic bracelets till our first few orders were made and then they just took off. Since then, we have continued to add to our copper magnetic bracelet collection making it one our largest magnetic bracelet collection to date. The dual benefits of copper and magnets is what makes the bracelets appealing as well as the aesthetic rose coloured hue of copper which gives it its warmth and shine. Recent requests of copper bracelets without magnets have resulted in us also adding a no magnets range too.

We have covered stainless steel as a topic many a times over the years with a number of blog posts, we do get a lot of customer questions and feedback over our stainless steel bracelets.
