Relief Print in the Works

For my Introduction to Printmaking class, I am making a wood-block print. There are no requirements as to what goes on this piece of wood. What I like about this class is it's all about the process and not necessarily your concentration. I am going to learn different techniques, and try out different forms of printmaking I haven't been exposed too.
My class is a little intimidating though, being the only freshman and what not...I like it so far though.

I am inspired by this picture from an old National Geographic magazine, which I "borrowed" from my art teacher.

Why I would want to make short films

Puce Moment by Kenneth Anger (1949)

 

 The colors are absolutely amazing. And the obscure psychedelic music goes so well with the film. My favorite part is the opening, when you see all of the dress fabric glitter.

Le Journal du Mal

For my Research Studio class at SAIC, I have to keep a daily journal with a cohesive theme. The point is to learn how to collect and gather information over a certain period of time; and to also see what we learn as artist.
A few were going to document the food they ate daily, others collect packs of gum and what not.
I settled on the idea of "Le Journal du Mal" or translated, "The Journal of Hurt (or bad)."
I am going to keep track of the pain my body feels, both mentally and physically. I am only two days into the project, but I am having a lot of fun with it. It is making me realize how I do not take care of my body like I should.
The mental aspect of "my hurt" will certainly develop as time goes on. I am interested to see if this journal takes a different turn in direction..

"Le Journal du Mal"

September 2nd, 2010

"I was very nervous about class today. Nine out of ten fingers have hang nails now. I chew on my finger nails like a rabbit chews on carrots."

September 3rd, 2010

"I made my finger nails bleed again today. I need to get over this nervous thing. It feels like I burnt a hole through my throat."

I have a "professional" website!

It's a weebly...or some free website maker I found. This is really just a more "clean cut" website with my artist statement, artwork, resume, and contact information are posted. Have no fear, I am not giving up my beloved blog or flick.

  

I am so excited for the big city

Oh you know, Just chillin'

This couch was once in Andy Warhol's notorious Factory. Now, It is in one of the offices at the Tennessee State Museum.

They Are Done! Get'em While They'r Fresh

I successfully printed PUJOL shirts today. Much thanks to Mrs. Profitt for letting me use her room. You can get one of these for five buck-a-roos, most likely at Pujol's next show.

So many choices!
