Some Process

Working on my midterm presentation.  I’d rather be spending my time drawing and working on my website but this is what has to be done at the moment.  I wish I could settle for half-assing it.

Got a couple drawings in progress:

The one on the left is the beginnings of a former barn.  I’m working on a larger sheet of paper this time around.

The one on the right is entirely made of pinholes.  It’s giving me a blister on the inside of my index finger.

I also made a janky photoshop mock-up of THE WALL.  Composition is entirely subject to change and I don’t really like what’s depicted here but it gives a certain sense of what all my hand gestures mean when I talk about it.

Erm, what else?  I’ve got a domain name now… hattiestroud.com.  So, I’m learning CSS to rewrite my existing site in a better format.  Though the existing site is still posted at the new domain and still has a lot of my work on it.

Went and talked to a former architecture professor tonight about my project.  She was very helpful in sorting things out.  I need to talk about my ideas out loud in order to sort through them but I don’t really know anyone else in IP and the method of teaching/critiquing is noticably different from what I’ve grown accustomed to so it was good to talk to someone who knows how I think.

Time Log 1

This week was a short one due to fall break.  I’m working on several different things at once which doesn’t seem to be problematic.  First there’s the ongoing series of small drawings (which don’t scan very well):

I’m trying to slowly work this same imagery into a larger format.  Also trying some different methods: adding color, just using the text, drawing with pinholes.  I’m not really sure what I’m looking for though.

There’s also THE WALL.  It’s almost fully assembled, at which point spackling and priming will commence.  I want to do some photoshop tests to decide what the final assembly will look like.

I’m getting a little frustrated because I feel like time’s passing and I’m working but somehow nothing’s happening…  I’m hoping that maybe having to present the work will help me re-focus a bit.

Logged studio hours: 5 hours (+3 hours class time)

Repurposing

Just ignore the posts previous to this one and hence forth this blog shall be about my Integrative Project.
