Blog on Hold

With the beginning of my final on-campus semester in graduate school I'll be busy with homework, writing curricula, and completing practicum hours. These in addition to working part time and paying at least a little bit of attention to my family will ferociously occupy my time. Any blogging will most likely consist of photographs and lesson ideas which will be posted on my other blog, anartistsdaybook.blogspot.com

Around Town

 

Album Covers cont'd

     The album cover format is pretty engrossing so I imagined a few singles to go with the LP cover. All but one of these is from my own photography. I think I'll try to do that as much as possible as this project continues, source from my own images. That should also give me reason to take more photos, which is always good.

More Album Covers

     Here are a few more album covers I made tonight.

Album Covers

     The other night I decided to play with the album cover format. Using the previously posted textures as a leaping-off point, and selecting a few bogus band names and album titles, these were my initial efforts.

 

Surface

     One of the things that really excites me visually is surface. I am especially drawn to aged and worn surfaces. I took a few shots today around the house of objects whose surfaces are interesting or exciting to me.

Into the Woods

     It's been a long week filled with numerous reasons for not being creative. Fortunately it's also been a productive week and I finished my last online class, submitting my final exam yesterday. I also spent some quality time with my wife and looked at some art downtown at the monthly First Friday Artwalk. I even got in some serious time playing guitar and honing the sound I'm aiming to achieve. Overall much was accomplished but I'd like to get back to writing and doing some photography. It may be time to head out into the woods.
