The good news is that Kim’s going to be fine.
The bad news is I can’t believe my cat caused this.
One little scratch in the webbing between Kim’s thumb and first finger led to surgery because of infection.
One doctor told me that if we’d waited a couple more days she would have been at risk to loose her hand.
The assignment was to compile photos and treat them using techniques discussed in class to make them look as though they belong together.
I used it as an excuse to mess with my idea for combining the techniques of Alex Maleev and Dave McKean, but I wish I’d had time to take the photos myself.
Sorry it’s been a while since the last post…
Been busy. Trying to figure out if my current 5 year plan can possibly work.
Right now it feels like all I do is draw, and write.
Here’s something I did last week.
Upright Bass
Yea, I know I’ll never be a sculptor, but this class is almost over.
This week’s assignment: create a surrealist ‘poem object’.
What is a poem object?
I’m not really sure there is a clear answer to that, but the exercise was to attempt to place unrelated, emotionally charged objects in a box allowing an observer to make up their own story about what the arrangement of objects means.
My wife was outraged “That better not be my teddy!” she swore at me in horror when she saw the piece.
So I was in the woodshop working on this constructivist sculpture (ugh, 3D design is the thing I’m doing that is the least related to sequential art: what I’m there for. But the teacher is really great) and another student spoke to me.
“I don’t know what it is, but it’s awesome!” he said as he passed by.
“Hey thanks”, I replied “What are you working on?”
“Stainless steel Wolverine claws”.
Only at Art school…
