a work in progress….
I owe a big thank you to J in CA for sending me an awesome letter with a scavenger hunt in it…. it made me go to places in Madison that I’d not been to in a great long while and take pictures to prove that I solved the puzzle. 🙂
Here is what one of the clues yielded:
oh man, I am not up-to-speed on this blog. I keep promising people weekly updates and I haven’t even updated the sidebar to show May intentions and May is practically over. I have many pictures just waiting to be cropped & FTP’d and posted up here…. it’s just a matter of making myself come inside to do it. This kind of makes me want to invest in a laptop so I can sit outside & do this stuff. Think that would work?
I made a (semi)quick proof for an idea I had…. and I had a really hard time picking what colors to use:
Here are some close-ups of a few selected color combinations:
I’m still not sure what I’m going to do for the actual print but luckily the procrastinating is facilitated by still not having any nice paper in the house 🙂
holy cow…. I’m the “Artist of the Month” over at Four Oceans Press in California.
One entertaining art night we, ah, started playing with food – cutting it in to small pieces, mixing different food together and rearranging it:
the real art, however, is the smile-y face made with the orange bingo stamper that you can see just under one of the plates 😉

On white paper (and in a different order. doh!):

look at what came in the mail yesterday:
….now let the printing adventures begin!
Stripes are the new “thing” in my house – you will see many stripes in my next few posts. These are really easy to do – I cut two striped images in less time than it took to listen to an entire Apoptygma Beserk album after staying up all night supporting my customer during some server upgrade-y stuff over the weekend:
Why don’t you get to see both images right now? Because I want to strech out my posting in case I don’t get back to more art projects in the near future 🙂 Also – I’m kind of “cheating” — this is just the linoleum-composite block to print from – not actually a finished product. I’m out of the ink & paper that I want to use to print these with.
I designed a T-shirt for some friends this weekend, but I’m not sure if I can post the image until after they’ve used it for their event…. you might just have to wait until the end of April to see it.
