Time runs and we run with it....

This was an interesting assignment. When I started I had a different visual concept decided for it...but as David suggested, rather than sitting and just planning, I started gathering different images I had. From what I had started off with to what I achieved in the end...the image went though many face lifts! And this is what I finally ended up with. I'm quite happy with this one and at the same time scared to touch it with paints! Lets see where I can take it from here!

CANT SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!

After today's class and the inspiring talk from David about the video assignment...I lost my sleep! I came up with the hand idea for my video and was pretty excited about it till I think 4pm...but after that (David's talk) I kinda stated hating it! I wanted to change it! I thought and thought and thought so much that after a point my head was numb!I thought i will sleep over it and start afresh in the morning! I tried too sleep till 2.30(yes AM!!!) but then after that my mind started to wake up. It woke up so wide that i HAD to get out of the bed and get on the blog.
and now I have a brand new idea, I hope it makes sense...(its 3.30 am and at least till now i'm still excited about it!) I think im going to do a video about my pictures. i like taking candid pictures of people, and in my video i want to show a series of candid portraits and a video of the story behind it. I want to video the back of my camera screen, just a short video before/after the 'click' (which gives the feel of a story of the picture.)
My hand is not working as fast as my brain right now, so can't explain it properly. but thats the rough concept. I would love to do this in the class and I am going to need everyone to help me! PLEASE ALL i need everyone to give 30-40 seconds for me and my camera! (and i hope this idea still makes sense to me when i'm up in the morning! :D) This being the LAST assignment I think i would love remember the bonding i have with everyone and the best way is this assignment! Its about how I see people from my candid eye! I hope that makes sense!
NOW i think i will get some sleep! (Oh I just remembered, I think I had coffee at the wrong time and that's what kept me awake so late! heee!)
David...and everyone; please let me know what do you think of this new idea!

wacom tablet

This was the first time for me with wacom tablet. It was a pretty bad start for me but after two drawings i got a hang of it. I'm worried that I'll get addicted to it!!!

Interactions...

I was thinking that at some point we would need a logo for "interactions". This is the first thing that came to me. The thought behind the font: the purpose of choosing cursive writing is that the letters are joint to each other, that shows the togetherness/ going hand in hand/ interaction with each other.
Shadow in black which is actually overlapping on the writing instead of falling behind the writing also show the interaction. (This is just my idea, I hope it comes across the way I'm trying to put it.)
We can all work on more ideas to see what best comes out of it! Please have a look and suggest! :)

monotype

I really enjoyed making these prints. I think everyone in the class did too. Here is one of the prints i liked the best which i drew with my finger; and the digital version of it.

collograph...

Still haven't got to print the final one but here is the first attempt and the digital image of the original plate and the print...

Portrait study....

This is a live portrait study. The reference that David asked us to study from was a real help. This was the first time i kind of got the proportions alright. Than as always, i took a picture of it and got it into photoshop and than I wont say any more...(off course the model was a bid angry coz i drew a real picture and did not hide the double chin and the beard is a bit to dark...but one cant be demanding for a free portrait! ;))
