My name is Allison Cole, I am an artist living and working out of a former tinsel factory in Providence, Rhode Island. I graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2003 with a <span class=\"caps\">BFA<\/span> in Printmaking. Since graduation I have dedicated my time to freelance illustration, participating in gallery shows, and creating cute and fun things for my online shop, Bang Bang You&#8217;re Thread. In 2004 my first full-length graphic novel, Never Ending Summer, was published by Alternative Comics. I have recently signed on as an illustrator with Lilla Rogers Studio, who are some of the most wonderful people in the world to work with. <\/p>\n<p>Who\/what inspires you?<\/p>\n<p>I love going to antique stores when I&#8217;m in a rut, it usually channels some major inspiration. But one of my biggest sources of inspiration is my husband, he has a never-ending shortage of zany but good concepts &#8211; a conversation about ideas with him always gets my brain going.<\/p>\n<p>What message would you like to send out about your work?<\/p>\n<p>What is your biggest accomplishment to date?<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know yet, I feel like there&#8217;s always something around the corner that I&#8217;m excited about! At the moment I am working on putting the pieces together to have a real silkscreen studio up and running &#8211; I currently print in our apartment and it has some major limitations. I hope to expand the crafty side of my business with new products and a new focus. I guess this is more of an accomplishment-in-progress, ha ha!<\/p>\n<p>Share a secret with us!<\/p>\n<p>I may or may not work full time as an Art Director (shhh!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>Allison Cole<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":26906,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_generate-full-width-content":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1307"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1307"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1307\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26907,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1307\/revisions\/26907"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1307"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1307"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1307"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
