A little while ago I did my pop art thing on a picture of a friend of mine named Robin and my friend Viv loved it so much she wanted one. So I asked her to pick a photo and I did that for her today as my daily art project.
This is something that I have been doing since art school, way back in the early days of photoshop 3.0, but back then it didn’t look nearly as good as it does now :)
PS: I love my friends for being willing and unwilling subjects for me. Sometimes I ask, sometimes I don’t and I have yet to hear a complaint, you guys rock
I have been doing a lot more posting here on the blog then normal, Art Month is making me post at least daily and while a daily blog is ideal it comes with some issues. One, I bet it doesn’t look like this is the landing page for the podcast, it is, I just podcast monthly, so we now have 20 posts of art and other tidbits between the last episode and now. Next, I try to maximize my blog’s reach, for instance some people may be reading this on my Nutty Nuchtchas Facebook, or my IRL one for family, or you may be reading this on LiveJournal where it is friend locked (Or at least I hope you might, been having some issues with crossposting lately.)
Because of Art Month I can’t help but feel like I’m flooding everyone and people are getting sick of me. I have had almost no comments on the actual blog for a really long time, but I get comments on Facebook and elsewhere. For my art, here’s what I do. I upload to flickr, write a description, then I blog it, then I upload it to both facebooks in my photos section. Now my facebooks and livejournal post a copy of each blog entry (or it’s supposed to) so for some people they see the post multiple times.
So I’m wondering, should I stop uploading the photos to facebook? Should I stop the notes? Should I keep doing what I’m doing? I know some people don’t want to leave facebook and go to a blog to comment, so there is that unfortunates. I have tried a plugin that’s supposed to take the comments from my notes and link them on the blog, but it’s not working. Also, i tend to get more comments on the actual photos in facebook. So I’m asking everyone who has commented in the past (or haven’t) what do you think I should do?
Also, am I just flooding everyone? Am I annoying? Do you have a better idea?
thanks
When I think of an Egret, I think of my Mom, my Mom and her best friend FV. I drew this today because as I sat down to draw today I saw a hat, with the logo of their boat that I designed over a decade ago, out of the corner of my eye… so I free handed and Egret. Living in Canada I miss them both, so this was nice to draw today.
It might be hard to see in the scan, but the Egret is silver and the beak and feet is gold.
It came from a joke, not sure how it started, we were up WAY too late and somehow I got it into my head to draw kermit as Che Guevara. Kermit is always awesome, as all Muppets are, Che, well he’s a symbol some people think of when they think revolution, and his image is something hipsters wear to try and impress on others that they are edgy and counter culture. For some reason the mashup of these two icons amused me to no end.
I do remember saying “You don’t understand man! Kermit was there, Man! He was there in the swamp, he made that rek to Hollywood, he took Manhattan, he was there man!”
Ahhh late night fun.
(EDIT: I changed the posting time cause I can do that :P)
