prepare yourself! i am actually staying home tonight. i just need a day to stay in and be around my things in my room. i feel as if i've just been traveling around everywhere and since my friend pat just left i finally get my room back to mine, all mine. its been a really long week for some reason. hummm. well tomorrow i'm meeting up with my friend and we are going to do a personal project together, she just doesnt know what it is yet haha. i want to see what she has to say about it but basically the end result will be a tribute book to the misfit animals that no one loves in the 2d flat world so they come to the 3d world (our world) and still no one likes them. i want to make large and small scale animals on paper and get them on walls interacting with trashy urban areas. like if one animal was on the wall eating out of a dumpster and maybe throwing water on the art to get a weathered look. SO, i'm waking up early to take pictures of some urban areas to inspire the shapes and situations of creatures that barbara will create. she has the right style for this and a creative mind to make these weird creatures.
so here i sit for now, enjoying the couch potatoing.
oh, just wanted to mention a great book i got from the library today: BookDesign A comprehensive guide
sounds dry but freaking sweet! its helping me out a lot with ideas for my type book. not everything has to be stale.
yay post!
