March 12/12/12 Project

I was working ahead on February’s 12/12/12 Project because I knew, eventually, I would start a project that might very well take more than a month. Photography vs scanning actually takes up a lot of time and my March project involves quite a bit of photography. I don’t want to give too much away because I’m always worried something will go haywire and I won’t be able to finish it as planned, but the March project does have something to do with the greatness that is first generation My Little Ponies. Stay tuned!

Studio: Art-o-Mat Collage Blocks 5/6

Last Thursday afternoon I sat down and finished off two more collage blocks for the Art-o-Mat project. I actually think I’m going to keep #6, which is on the right, I ended up liking it too much to part with it. This past weekend I also got around to scanning the first six blocks so I’ll be setting up a page on here for them soon and posting about each one. I also finally swallowed my pride and paid for my suspended Vogue subscription, something I’ve been putting off for months because I could have absolutely sworn that I already paid for it once. Either way, Vogue is kind of a must for my collage needs, so it had to be done. Now I’m more irked at missing the September issue, alas. Next subscription I want? Smithsonian magazine. History swoon!

Studio: Art-o-Mat Collage Blocks 3/4

Since yesterday I finished some more collage blocks for Art-o-Mat! I’m really happy with how these came out. Also, for some reason, Vogue keeps insisting that I didn’t pay them for my subscription (perhaps obviously I use magazine images for my collages) and while I think I did I’m also too lazy to go through months of credit card bills to check. Should I pay again, or is it not worth it because I missed the September issue anyway? 1st world problems, as they say.

Studio: I Finally Start Art-o-Mat

Good lord my studio mat always looks so disgusting in photos! Um, I mean “urban” and “edgy.” Anyhoo, I finally got around to making some collage blocks for Art-o-Mat, an amazing project that I was accepted into ages ago. I’m excited to finish up enough that I can send them out and they can get adopted into the world. I’ll scan these eventually too, I had better photos of them, but they were blurry … so they weren’t better, I suppose, but they tricked me into thinking they were usable which was very rude of them.

Good luck with your Mondays, all!
