So, I probably won't get a chance to update for a while, I'm about to be launched into my last bout of finals and then i have to scramble to find an apartment.
However, all of this business has not kept me from pursuing crazy-ass art projects. Ever since I finished the pointillism, (which I scanned so it's now a digital file. Stay tuned for poster-size versions) I have embraced the idea of obsessive-compulsive artwork.
Inspired by my Notes on Color class, I went to Blick a few days ago and purchased about 9 feet of canvas (like 72 inches wide I think). I also purchased rubber cement, a hole puncher, and got a bunch of those free paint chips samples from home depot.
Figure it out yet?
I'm going to hole punch the paint chips and then glue the holes to the canvas as points. So it's not quite like using a .005 tip pen on paper, but it's comparable. The "points" are a lot bigger, but so is my surface area. Still...it's almost certainly going to kick ass.
I'll try to get around to scanning my actual sketchbook and show you the ideas I've been working on. It probably won't be representational because frankly I don't have the skill for that. I think for now, for the first project of this kind, I'm comfortable doing just a color study. Not to say there won't be any pattern to it at all, I'm just saying I'll probably stick to circles cause I'm into those lately.
Anyways, I'll check back later with my progress.
Cheers,
