052912 – Bluejay Status
This is coming along nicely. The feathers are very slow going – they take about 10 minutes a piece to create. The feathers are all created using inset work, so all 4 papers are being cut at once giving each feather a completely flat finish, the different colors are not layered. This process is slow, precise, and creates a lot of recycling.
Idea, your thoughts?
So have been getting a lot of nice feedback for the banana artwork which is currently on display at artomatic. So I had an idea.
Would anyone be interested in a small set of the work as collector cards? It would be 8 cards each sized at 3.5″ x 2.5″. It would be able to be framed in a standard sized frame if you like. It would cost $5 or under for the card set to help cover the printing costs. Framing would be additional.
052512-Bluejay Status
I actually started working on this today! I was not seeing it come together until I got it all assembled. Pretty pleased with the progress so far. Wish you could see the detail on the eye – it looks REALLY GOOD!!!! I am still intimidated with the main body feathers – but it will look so good when it is completed! His head looks really big here, but it a bit bigger than a quarter in reality.
052412 – painted compass
I got a picture of one of the floors at artomatic of one of the compass painted. If you check back a few posts, you’ll see it in stencil form.
052112 – Prepping Prints
Today was gross out and found I could not keep my concentration on task for too long. I could not get myself to get started working on the bluejay today – so instead I went ahead and busied myself getting prints processed. Basically when I order prints I immediately number them, though I tend to not put signatures on them right away if they are not claimed. The other day – I found several prints that needed signatures and I got 5 of them knocked out. So I have copies of Women w/ weapons, piston, metro, open, octopus, and shopping cart in addition to at least 10 other pieces. Also soon I’ll have copies of cicada, citrus, and rubik’s cube.
On a sidenote ony a trip to Target today, walked buy the cutest socks and I had to get them. I’ll have to wear them to Artomatic and stand next to my wall next to Banana.
051812-Postcards
So today Artomatic opens at 6pm. So I made 3 new postcards for the show – go and collect all three!
051712 – Super Secret artwork is complete
Finished up my new artwork. I am really happy with how it turned out. I may make some more like it. The clue is in my space at Artomatic (11th floor, space 253) and is pretty obvious.
051512 – Bejelwed scissors
I was able to spend a bit of time in the studio making good progress on the super secret piece, but mainly I’ve been stuck inside with a bad back. So I worked on making myself a new hairpiece – I used a pair of children’s scissors as a base . I’m pretty proud of these and will wear them proudly.
051212 – Artomatic install complete
Got my install for Artomatic today completed today. Happy with the work and how it all turned out.So the QR code cut paper work is a key – try it out when you check out my work. I am on the 11th floor, space 253.
Plus as an added bonus got to hang out with my friend Michelle, we had a nice lunch and went through the floors for a quick preview of the work.
