Zine update:

I sent some copies out already, and the rest will be going out early next week. I apologize for the delay, it’s taken me longer than I expected to draw on them, and I sold more than expected so I have to make more copies before I can finish the rest. I suspected the former would be an issue, which is why I specified a 1-2 week shipping time (for domestic orders).

Thank you for your patience.♥

Zine.

Photo experiment scans.

This is one of my favorites because it looks like fire. More over at my flickr.

Experiments, 2.

I've gotten really bad at updating this. Not that I was ever great, but no art posts since AUGUST? That's absurd. I'll try harder. Here's a sketchbook page, which you've already seen if you read my other blog.



And yes, I'm aware that I don't draw people well. Which is why I never do it.

Experiments.

This looks like a big mess, doesn't it? Well, at the moment, it sort of is. I have all of these photos laid out on newspaper drying on my kitchen table and on top of the refrigerator (let's hope my roommate doesn't hate me when she gets home).

Over the summer, M's air conditioner sprung a leak or something like that, causing water to drip onto some of his things, including a box of photos. He didn't realize this immediately, and by the time he did, the photos were wet and sticking together. When he began peeling them apart so they could dry, the coolest thing happened -- the colors separated into reds and blues, and images were "stuck" to the backs of other photos. I thought this looked really neat, and wanted to try replicating the effect.

Weeks later, I finally got around to digging through some old photos of mine, and made a pile of duplicates and ones that I didn't like very much. I put them in a large cooking pot and covered them with water. For a couple of days, nothing happened. They were just sitting in the water, not sticking together or doing anything interesting. I took them out, wrapped the pile in a paper towel, and put them back in water. I left them there for 4-5(?) days, checking on them every day for progress, and took them out to dry today, after the water had completely evaporated and the paper towel turned purple. Images didn't really transfer to the backs of other photos (with the exception of two), and instead of reds and blues, I have mostly yellows and purples, but I think this is because most of the photos were black and white. I'll be sure to scan some once they dry out so you can see the detail!

Rescue.

This scan is imperfect. The colors are slightly different off of a screen.

Thanks for the inspiration, Mr. Cohen.
