What to do...

when your art prof/advisor doesn't like the photos you intend to put in your senior exhibit:
a) say "screw you" and do it anyway (trust your judgement)
b) sit down and talk about how to improve them (trust his judgement)
c) figure it out on your own through trial and error
d) have no clue

my answer: have no clue. advice? since I have... one... reader who isn't an art major, I suppose asking for advice isn't going to help much.

Here are a couple of the photos

... ugh

Finally an Update!

Well, now that we're past the unexpectedly-insanely-busy interterm month of January, I'm finally back to painting!

Currently working on:
1. transfer for white house (printing tomorrow and applying friday... removal will happen.... monday?)
2. general motors detroit headquarters (from here on out, known as GM building)

GM building:
here's where I'm at... I've got 15 of these blocks (which is actually what the beginning of each painting will look like (just with a different number of blocks)

without further ado, here's an example:











just kidding, it'll be a moment until I edit the image so that it's not sideways or cluttered... aren't you glad I love you? because I could definitely be going to bed right now!

allllllriiiiight. here it is. it took 13 minutes total. but if my computer hadn't froze up (I brushed my teeth while I waited for it to get its issues under control) it would have been 7 minutes... and if my computer were faster in general it probably would have taken all of 2 minutes. unfortunately, I have a slow computer that likes to freeze and I just babbled a whole bunch about it, so now it's taken 14 minutes (plus however long it actually takes to upload... ok, I'm done)

here it is, for real:

 

was it worth it, not really :) but that's it. a piece of 5X5 (inches) masonite, primed with white paint. house applied via foam stencil (I made it), my finger and some clear tar gel :)
