I have always wanted to produce a really special book about my 5×5 project, one that explains both my story, and my imagined story surrounding this theme.
Here are some really creative artist books I saw today.
I am a sucker for timelapse movies and thought this was really nice. The music is good, too.
I am feeling better today.
This lime-wood sculpture reminded me of that head you carved in college, Gabe. Only with knives sticking out of it.
In other knife-related news, my adze and crooked knives arrived yesterday. I’d had a few drinks before I got home, so I haven’t tried them out yet. Tonight’s the night, though!
… without a computer?
I have been trying to think how you’d do something like that, and this afternoon I found a site that shows how. Awesome.
Get with it, man. Also, send me the photo/drawing of the old descending ashtray, circa 1998.
I’ll finish mine if you start yours.
I was also thinking perhaps we could come up with a theme and then each do a piece based on it. What do you think? I picked up a copy of Art News today with the cover story “Why Small Sculpture is Big,” so maybe that’s an idea. Do a small sculpture no bigger than … what?
The magazine also had an article about a female artist named Tara Donovan whose work is really impressive. She accomplishes a lot with everyday materials. The cube photo is made entirely of toothpicks, with no glue or anything else holding them together. Here are a few more of her works.
This is something I’ve considered doing before, but this guy is doing oil paintings and well … he’s actually doing it. Selling the paintings for ~$100, too. That should be enough to support you, right?
