I'm a BIG DORK

In the movie "Mona Lisa Smile" Our diva Julia Roberts takes her brats to a warehouse, where they are whitnesses to the opening of a Jackson Pollock Art Piece.

I have seen 1-2 Jackson Pollock's in my life time, in person. Among other notable artworks, fieldtrip to the Lourve anyone? Bueller Anyone? Bueller?

It just so happens that one of my more interesting pts this evening is a close realitive to Mr. Pollock!

If that isn't cool shit, I don't know what is!

Boxes

I have been struggling alot with some art swaps and a commissioned piece. The commission piece was asekd for back in sept and I still don't have it completed. The first round didn't go as planed and thankfully was set aside. Second attempt had a good begining but slowly died at birth.

This morning I went back to the first project, and it just snowballed. The idea FINALLY came to me. It exploded from there.

A comment from a friend tonight secured the idea. Think outside the box. Get deeper into the meaning. Basically what you are doing is making a representation of an object that was in a FLOOD.

EXACTLY.
EXACTLY.
ExACTLY.

auryn's project is comming along quite nicely. Its about time.
