monday collage

After seeing my brother over the weekend, I am feelling a little melancholy today. I miss home and the warmth of family. On the other hand, there is a slight freedom in being this far away from them.

Monday Collage

In a rush... but got one done... and I guess that's the whole point?!

Sunday morning collage. This is really fun!

Collage Journal

So my plan is to do a collage every morning when I wake up -- before I really get involved in anything else and while my mind is still free from stress, obligations or madness. I did this one while having my first cup of coffee. OK, I cheated, I did make a cup of coffee before sitting down to the table for this one!

Tuesday Sketch No. 3

Silly little sketch of my peace lily as I see if from my sofa.

it might be kind of hard to tell but this is my pen and pen holder for my wacom here at work

line studies

i have been doing these lines studies as a way of relaxing from doing my daily design work throughout the week. just part of the process for keeping things fresh and experimenting with design and creativity, i first sketch them out on paper as i do with everything and then put them in the computer and then silk screen them. *i just love silk screening* i pickup the idea after read a book about Wolfgang Weingart, a truly amazing swiss designer, Typography, is the title and definitely worth a read for those interested.

just a little sketch i made this morning

tuesday sketch no. 5

i went with my lunch as the subject for todays sketch but i bet your wonder what that little gem in the top right corner is aren't you? well, that my friends is the most excellent twinkie, yes, that delightful little cream filled sponge cake, ahh the the sweetness. oh and my new favorite bread roman meal 100% whole grain not too soft not too hard with just the right texture and taste plus it is cheap and you get lots of big slices. mmmmmmmmm yummie in the r's tummy.

Tuesday Sketch

I did this sketch quickly before I went to sleep last night.

Self Portrait No. 2

This is pretty much indicative of my current state of mind and mood.

self portrait no. 3

for this self portrait i had tried a little experament with some prism filters i have, for my holga, and held them up infront of the digital. pretty neat effect. after this first one i spent an entire day shooting everything with these little filters some came out really cool. i have some more tricks to try out, we'll see if any make it into the self portrait files later on. enjoy.

this is the utility pole right outside my patio.

Wall Art

So, I've been working on these little paintings to hang on my wall. I just wanted some color on them without spending a lot of money on some fancy-pants art. So, I bought these little canvases at the art store downtown and some paint that corresponded to the colors in my new living room. Here's one that I've done. I think I might hang 5 in a horizontal line above the sofa and I'm thinking they would all have the tree, but each one would be a different shape and form. Everything in my apartment is sort of modern and geometric, this would add a splash of organic shape. Or... that's the idea, anyway.

this week's exploration

i know we kind of skipped last week and this weeks is a day late but i figured i would put something up to set some ground rules for this weeks exploration. ok, so it is a self portrait but it has to be photographic but it doesn't have to literal. nad always have fun.
