stuff

I think I may have figured out what the large-ish creature/guy might be, the one that replaces the horse-guy on that big canvas.  I also drew in a second foot for the young panda-ish guy...he is taking on a slightly different personality as well.  This is getting interesting.

I know it is hard to see, but I think the large guy might be some kind of puppeteer with the little guy in the background looking on

ALSO today...much to my utter delight...my mini art order from AIC arrived.  Included in that box are the 100 pre-glued white boxes for my Tookies series.  AND I also (nearly) stumbled upon a sort of half-forgotten about/mostly misplaced box of Arto-art!  This means a trip to LIFT tomorrow for Juana and me to refill Greeny (and a fun time and lunch, etc.)

the box of goodness from AIC --and-- the other box of Arto-art

making sure I have all of the Art-o-mat machine placards and updated art sample pages for the information binder at LIFT

2012/365 - Day 126

playing around with the look of a collage

There are four upcoming shows I am working towards. 



I like this collage a lot. This is/was canvas #4 in the series of repurposed canvases.  It didn't make it into a previous show and now I am considering altering it a bit for submission to a different show.  But I am not exactly sure what I want to do with it or how I want to change it.

Although I am not very skilled with doing things in the photo program, I find it is a sort of helpful tool to get me thinking about things.

So...starting with a photo of the collage...

...I "drew" lines on it in the paint section of the photo program and then "painted" in some of the lines.

Then I "spray painted" some colors -- just to see how it would look if I changed the fox's hat a little.

It would not look like this in real life...but it gives me something to start with.

Then I went back and added some transparent color to the fox's shirt.

I think I might want to make the fox and his clothes more solid looking like this and let the little floaty companion guy on the right stay the way it is...so that the viewer can see it or not.

  

Hmmm...

Doing things this way takes me waaaaay longer than it probably needs to...but I have a little more to think about now that I have sort of "seen" it -- and -- I didn't have to mess up the real collage (yet).
