Uhhh

I haven't made much work this summer. I haven't felt able to, for a number of reasons. I am slowly, SLOWLY marching my way towards something I MIGHT be able to show at the CAC in October for Fotofocus. We'll see.

But I have actually managed to paint something. It's weird, because I'm not really a painter. I like to draw, that is what I'm good at. Painting not so much.

Here are some shitty cell phone pics of what I'm working on. The bottom one I started today, the top one has been in progress on and off since late May.

Acrylic on canvas and acrylic on masonite (I think? It was in the "free stuff" pile) respectively.

 

 

I have comic ideas but no motivation to draw anything. And like I said, gif work is progressing at a snail's pace (it's not even gifs anymore, it's webcam performance).

This hasn't been an interesting update, sorry. Uh. I got nothing. My cat snores? 

My computer is home!

Yaaay! I had to have the logicboard thingie replaced, since it just up and died on me... but now I can post photos and write the rest of my proposal for the Prairie show and waste time on tumblr and watch Mystery Science Theater 3000 again!

HUZZAH!

As for artworks... I've been on vacation the last ten days or so, but I did do a little series of tiny ink drawings in my sketchbook as well as a schematic drawing of a sandwich. So eventually I suppose I'll get around to scanning those and posting them. I also took a good many pictures, but with a film camera. I did take some digital images with my cell phone and with my dad's full-frame Nikon, but I have to go through them and edit them so they'll follow in another post.

Work for the show (which might be called something like Hetero-types) is progressing, artists are being collected and negotiated with, I'm meeting with David Rosenthal on Monday to discuss things.

Tonight is The Denton Affair's production of Cry-Baby, which hopefully will be a great time. We've done a pretty good job with costumes and props, I think. I made a car muffler out of a giftwrap tube and some cardboard yesterday and I even figured out how to make my hair do this:

Following are some pictures from my cell phone that I did get uploaded, but more will follow (and be posted on my tumblr, which is slightly more active than this blog, hah).

Updates all round!

Here's the information on Van Dyke Brown processing: click!

And here's a comic I recently read, by Sarah Glidden. Click!

And eventually REALLY GOOD SCANS/ PHOTOS will make their way on here, I promise. It's nearing the end of the quarter now so after finals I'll have a little more time.

I'm really just testing the resolution of my cell phone camera (1.3 megapixel, heyoooo) but here. Two of our guinea pigs, Mac in the front and Bilbo hiding behind him. They're fat (over 3 lbs each) and scared of pretty much everything.
