Baby Bear


One of my fellow classmates (and his wife) recently had a baby. As a collective gift, a group of my classmates and faculty members, designed blank onesies for them. Mine was done using InDesign and Iron on Tranfers. The bear is made out of letters and symbols using Harrington Font. The baby's name is Lincoln Bear Hanscom....and so "the bear" was a common theme. You can check out the rest here http://theabandonedhouses.com/onesie.htm

Some Things




My blog was looking lonely, so this is just a quick look at some of the bindings/boxes that I learned throughout last semester. I start classes back up again on Tuesday and have already started to work on a few things....so more postings to come!

Roussillon

The following posts are a series of images representing the inspiration and realization of a large colored drawing I've been working on. The photographs were taken from Roussillon - a small village in the south of France which is situated in the heart of one of the biggest ochre deposits in the world. I was particularly fascinated with two things about the ochre quarries: the red, yellow and brown shades of earth that formed a striking contrast with the green pine trees and the vivid blue of the Provençal sky and the multiple layers of cliffs that produced some wonderful lines throughout the rock formations.

I used these photographs (along with a piece of bark that I broke off one of the trees) as inspiration to create a colored line drawing without using any white or black. (As opposed to the previous line drawing that I posted using only black and white).

TAXONOMY

The following posts is a project I've been working on for the past few weeks. It is a collection images of things that I am interested in. There are 110 cards total, all on 5x7 sheets of paper, using a variety of different printmaking and drawing techniques, gathered together in a ladder-slipcase box. The concept of the project was to create a personal image bank to show the way in which I think, create, etc. Thanks to all of you who helped contribute to the "Memories: Tell me a story" part of the project.
