So yea. I guess my art is good and all but does it give you guys juicy stories of love hate, and romance.. I think not. Everyone left in the world who is not either married, in a monogamous relationship, or a gamer, believes that when that cute guy (or hot girl in I’m to good for you white rimmed sunglasses) in a hot red sports car drives up, and winks, he/she will miraculously bump into you while grocery shopping, fall in love and then you will live happily ever after. THE END

No it’s not like that. Sorry.. You will probably end up being like me. Sign up for match.com or plentyoffish… oh wait its called POF now.. which sounds so much better…anyways. you will sign up for these silly online dating services, scrap up 30$ and have endless stories to tell your friends and family! 

Trust me, its great. Everyone at work will live vicariously through your salsa dates with your typical fuddy duddies, your wonderfully successful wake and bakers, your small men with BIG personalities, douche bags, ass holes, and whatever scum is left at the bottom of the barrel.

Yes it’s hard being single especially when you cant reach that cup that your 6ft 2” dad put on the very top shelf, or when that jar of olives has been sitting in your fridge for 3 months because you can’t open it.. but who cares!!! Free drinks, dinner, and movies are totally worth it!

The new direction is taking me to beautiful places!!!!

Canvas- only black and white paint

Bigger prints- have 10- 15 prints

Have a greater in variety in line, even smaller than what I have now. 

Keep making more scans

work on them all at the same time, and each for an hour and bounce back and forth

I will need a large wall space… humm……

taking pictures of these drawings and implementing them into my original collages.

will post pictures later

The more I work on the paper objects the more I think about how unexperienced I am at executing this. But I feel inspired as I make these things. It helps clear my mind and definitely influences my posters. I feel as if I should concentrate more on the image making and experimenting with that instead of the other things that I feel lost in. I dont want to drift from my main idea but I do think that it is okay to have room to grow within this project. 

A solution to this would be to keep making these objects but not display them. This would let the objects be inspiration and I wouldn’t worry so much about them looking good or gallery presentable. 

Making the objects would be more like an experiment that goes along with the images. I have been using the texture from the paper in my collages and also the lines from the binding experiments have greatly influenced them too.

How can i create more control over my carbon footprint and being less wasteful? —-This would be the experiment and then the posters would be the result that i display. I would take an experience and translate that into posters and images. 

I do have a new lead on my images. The bag designs that I have previously made are starting to interconnect with the collages that I made in the beginning. I want to try a more hands on feel for the designs. So I am printing out the plastic bags and then physically outlining them with a pen and marker and color in certain areas with prisma colors to mimic the type of coloration I have been doing on my previous computer generated compositions. 

I have also thought about using a clear or translucent type of material such as velum or transparency paper to generate the same effect as the computer would. 

I will post picture of more experiments when I have more developed.
