I Saw Water

An woodblock painting/optical illusion piece that was inspired by the previous "challenge" entry of a person being pulled underwater.


The Process:
I found some stubs of cut 2X4's in my garage.

So I fashioned a makeshift projector by sticking a string from wall to wall, and drawing an image on a piece of plastic

I traced the image being projected onto the blocks.

Then I painted the blocks using watered down acrylics.

Street Rats

The beginnings of a paper mache sculpture showing the gritty relationship between a desperate woman and a hungry man.

challenge

I've realized the times I create work best is when I am listening to some excellent music. So I have a project for myself:

Once a week post a quick pen and ink doodle/sketch inspired by a song/artist you are digging at the moment.

I think I can do this. We will start with these:

Song: Our Own Pretty Ways
Artist: First Aid Kit

Artist: Marine Dreams

( I've given up on getting this one to rotate)

A Black Book

In a writer's craft course I have been assigned to keep "a book" of thoughts, writings, doodles and anything to keep your mind fueled. After a few weeks of doing this I thought it was a shame that I was doing so many entries with "doodles" i'd like to share, instead of hide in this book. However, it is not a diary/journal and the words you will find here are not all true and some of them are not mine (But for the most part they are all original words) .

findings from a thicket

wood burning, bark. not sure if this girl is a mermaid or just a pretty lady.

reason for this piece:

Les Idiots de Popo

I've been curios about French clown lately, called Pierrots.

Then got some paint, and did this:
Some string, to do this:

and some pouring medium for this:

Et Voila!
