being hella busy getting OTHER things done requires my studio time to be cut by about 2/3. but i figured i would at least open the door for critique of some works in progress:
dark, sliding shapes - a song by Collasamite was the ignition of an untitled piece from february, and a lot of people liked it, so i am doing some more of them.
doing a little bit of dry bush color work always helps the head feel a little less murky. or does it have the opposite effect? combine some black ink and some shapes reminiscent of teeny-tiny graffiti i see around the city.
and then of course there is the early failure of a grey series i started when i was feeling all dumpy and sad. the fact that it is a failure i can see early on makes me feel like ive learned something from those things that make me feel dumpy and sad. too picture within the picture and not enough thought. i may return to these when i want to, but right now they go into the pile.
and then there are these two little cuties i made one night playing around with some artist's pastels. smaller paper, bigger shapes, better music (im pretty sure it was disc 2 of In Rainbows). if i could rock about 20 of these out i think they would look awesome stacked up salon style with 1" black frames. dunno when that'll happen though....
ive got to go look at rings now. oh, did i mention im poor? i mean, i cant even afford a private studio....
