How about this: a post with some of my other artistic endeavours! I don't have many of them, but my intent is to change that. First, I'd like to share the coolthing I made for Devin for our 1 yearversary back in May - an 8x8 inch canvas.
It's made from ticket stubs, etc that I collected during our first year. There's a Chicago train ticket, two movie tickets (our first and only movie in the theater, "Black Swan," on Valentine's Day), an airport parking receipt, two art exhibits from the IMA (where I was an intern), and the ticket to his brother's Independence Bowl game. The center is a coaster from a cafe we visited, also from Valentine's Day. I plan on making one of these for each year. Eventually we'll have an amazing, colorful full-wall scrapbook of sorts. I wonder what I'll get to put on the next one! ;-)
Next up is my new series of sorts, inspired by all the awesome stuff I see on Doodlers Anonymous. Here at Interlochen, I work three days each week in the box office, and when I'm not selling tickets, well...I have opted to spend my time making alphabet doodles! Black pen and crayons only (no pre-drawing!). One letter per day. No visual references whatsoever. ANYTHING GOES.
So here we have the first day, letter A:
And from today (technically yesterday), we have letter B:
AH THESE ARE SO MUCH FUN. I'm fairly obsessed with the incorporation of text/words/literature into works of art. For now, this is my chosen means of doing so. Keeps my mind active, and will more than likely turn into bigger and better things! ...also gives me something that I HAVE to post on a regular basis. ;-)
Until next time, dear readers...
