Splashes of color this time— I decided to play with cut painted and inked paper, which I found intriguing as an alternate thing to explore. The main downside is I don’t seem to have a good glue solution yet (any ideas?).
I’m thinking about switching this to be less scans of my sketchbook and more carefully considered images that I come up with. We’ll see how that goes though.
Six thoughts I’m thinking of…
- In five years… What will I be making? How childish will the work I make now look in comparison? (Answer: probably ridiculously so. I eagerly await.)
- Pets. Brainstorming literal and metaphorical pets for a collaborative project. The life of my dog, past pets I’ve owned, life and death.
- Collaboration. Teaming up with people I don’t know yet to make magic. Hopeful discussions in the future with people I want to know better.
- What statements do I want to make as a creative?
- Making time to do the things that I’m not making yet. I get a little sad at the thought that I’m not getting hired to make the kind of work I know I’m capable of— but at the same time I need to show the world that I can. Prototypes.
- Getting away. The move is coming sort of quick, and I’m behind. Part of me just wants to hide in a corner, but I know there’s lots to do. I’m a little anxious (new situation! But what if it was the wrong move? What about grad school? What if my friends don’t like me? What if I can’t find a job? Etc, etc.) but hopefully it’ll be replaced by some semblance of excitement again.
