Print Samples

Well, I am working right now on doing some print samples to decide what I want to print on this semester and for my senior show that is in December.

The first test was with backlit film. I really liked the effect on one of the pieces but I felt like the light didn't do much for the other image.

So, my next test is going to be on vinyl. I'm going to try the vinyl and possibly watercolor. My hope with the vinyl is to print on metal. I've been thinking about the possibility of metal, but I wasn't sure if I could get it done. Jessi told me about Liqu

id Image in Cleveland and they work on printing on different surfaces. They would be able to print on the metal for me, so I'm looking into calling them soon to get details. The idea would be to frame

both images on one metal frame, but splitting them up as well. I was thinking possibly a 3 inch metal border around and a one inch section between the two images so

I can still keep the diptychs going. The images themselves would be 24 long and 18 wide. So with the images and the frame, I'm looking at possibly 4 feet long and 2 feet wide frame and all. Here is a quick sample I came up with that is the idea I'm considering. I

really love the idea of printing on the metal. Any comments would be great! :)

Newest Progress

These are my latest two diptychs. I had an epiphany in class on monday and found a great direction to follow. I'm going to display these vertical instead of horizontal and have them be images on their own. One side is going to be brighter and one side is going to be darker, hence the positive and negative sides of one's journey.

Jessi had mentioned the idea of printing these on backlit and putting light on them for my senior show. I think this would be a great possibility so we will see.

This last piece I haven't done much with. I'm playing with the perspective and possibly going to use this and several others to create smaller pieces. These smaller pieces are going to represent the missing pieces of one's journey. The parts that you wish you didn't do or could do again.

9/17 2:39pm

I'm still working on my first three images from the first critique. I'm working to refine those and them get started on some new photos. I also have some new images from home that I am going to start working with next. Hope everybody else's work is going great!

First Critique of the Semester

Well I think the first Crit went very well. Everybody has a lot of new ideas and the ideas seem very interesting. I need to keep working with mine. Jessi suggested using warp and perspective to play into my pieces so that is going to be my next goal. I really like my one image so far so I would like to final that piece up first before I move on.

getting started

These are the 3 images I've been working with so far. :)

works in progress

Well i've got about 3 photos im trying to work with right now. I'm wanting to get different angles of the bridges this year so its been a little harder to get things to work out how i like. I usually do a lot of work with brushes, overlaying, and rotating with the original image to get what I want the final piece to look like. I've still been looking at mark inglis's work to get some ideas flowing.
