I’m having a massive new-music-gasm right now. I’ve got so much to listen to and it’s all very good and very inspiring. The M83 album from my previous post is currently killing my last.fm statistics. Whenever I’m done designing the new wordpress theme and website design there will be a last.fm reader on the page so you can see how many times I listen to “Skin of the Night” in a week. I’ll probably be sick of it in a week but I reiterate: radical.
I was working on some hand-made textures and type this weekend and doodled this little guy. It’s pencil and acrylic, and actually must have spurred a few creative synapses in my brain because I’ve got the urge to paint traditionally again. Sometime in June (the 14th I think) I’ll be auctioning off a painting for “Head for the Art,” a charity event sponsored by my company. Since the crow was the last thing I painted and it was done digitally I’m considering doing a new traditional painting and framing it exclusively for the show. Of course, if I work toward that goal I will keep the blog updated with progress.
Here is another color study I did with color and a bit of the new mark I’ve been working on. I don’t think the texture is working out. I think I may have to stick with hand-made textures as opposed to vector texture (try to say that 10 times fast).
