October 26th 2012. Abstract yoga bends.

Work achieved

Even more sketches (including a very weird elephant. Don't have an idea where that came from..its not like Ganesha was a recent topic.)

Started to play around with some of the abstract pieces in Photoshop. I think this might become a parallel collection. 

This one isn't really changed that much..but I'm wondering how it would look printed large scale or redrawn in white conte.

 two quick things. far right could be painted into a gnarled tree I guess. The other one is here just cause I like what happened to the background.
Otherwise..ehh.
Not quite feeling these. But just started and it really wasn't that much of an investment.


Anyways I really enjoyed the yoga break. I said it there but it really was a fun chance to change pace and play creatively. I've always wondered why the school doesn't push for more collaborative moments. (to be clear I'm talking about finished works by group effort. Not individual works that have received a peers eye and advice.) At any rate I wouldn't mind having another such session in the 2nd semester to relieve what will no doubt be a stressful period.
 The project moves forward.

Next week I'll take some time and talk about other artists and what they do that interests me. I will also continue to use sumie ink but also branch out into other mediums to help take certain potential images to the next stage.   

oh and to a certain someones previous question. Ran, Kagemusha and in my opinion "the best film ever made"- Seven Samurai.

And on a side note Count Orlok and the live organ are the only things I can recommend people should go to Nosferatu for. They are the two elements that still remain strong after all this time.
