Photoshop experimentation
|
|
Michael Kenna's photography maintains an ethereal, composition-centered bias that gives me chills. Check out his work at http://www.michaelkenna.net/html/index2.html
The next group (oranges and grey) is an attempt to emply fleshy colors in some minimal, low-opacity pieces. All of the originals are 5 by 7 inches, and I hope to soon begin some acrylic works loosely based on what I find in these explorations.
The last two images are random geographically-oriented color studies.

A single small panel...
|
|
|
Oh my... I've been so intimidatingly busy for the past two weeks that I haven't gotten to play with paint. The easel sits sadly, skeletal.

I've got more work of experiments with luminous images in Photoshop. I also found some idyllic photographs I took last spring in the backyard with some amazing light and cooperatively translucent young leaves.

It was so warm for the first few days of the year that I've been wearing shorts and short sleeves. We played among the lights at Riverfront park to celebrate the weather. It was so warm and humid by the water that all of the cold concrete structures were sweating copious amounts of water out of the atmosphere.
The "death kitchen" only looks grusome, although it scared the shit out of Megan when she first came across it... it turns out that a yogurt and juice bottled drink had fermented, building up enough pressurized gas to explode the cap off of the plastic container, sending it rocketing into the ceiling like the proudest of killer projectiles. As the juice oxidized it started taking on a rather curdy blood-and-brain-like appearance. If you look closely one can see the imprint of the bottlecap in the "puddle" on the ceiling.
And who knew that Backyard Burgers was pro-marijuana? "Wake and Bake," what a classic advertising miff.

Self image
|
|
I remember not long ago reading that, in the context of one's impression of self, when most people think of the way they look they visualize one of several vivid photographs/representations that they recall having seen.
Whenever I see myself with my hair down, this is the picture I think of. I found it while cleaning out a box of old shit from high school. I think this was taken in Books-a-Million not long after it was completed, and I'm pretty sure I can recall a few of the people who were there. It was likely one of the first times M. and I socially went out together, and I remember Amber and Jeremy coming back to the table with armloads of intensely illustrated sexual manuals.
Jesus, I'm probably sixteen or seventeen in this photo. I can't believe how young I look. Soophie Nun Squad had been my introduction to local music. I wasn't very involved with them, but my junior high school French teacher was the mother of one of the band members. She would come into class and sell her son's comic books (D.O.A.? Something like that...I remember liking it) and then one day the comic book had a little 45 in it. It elevated me overnight from 7th grader to grown-up music afficionado.

M.'s "Europa"
|
|
|
Crabs, fish and lions are dull symbols any more. Lets rechristen them all with butoh dancers and modern imagery.
The bust is an experiment in interchangable facial angles.
The third is a collage (by M.), a true composite, of our maniacal whirlwind of a European tour during the summer of 2001. Ah, the green be leafy...
