Cult of Flowers Tour

I just tore down my final exhibition at MCAD and will now take you on a photographic tour.





Above are some close-ups of spreads from the magazine, the poster, and the masks.



Here is an example of some of the original art that went into the magazine, and the bundle of 20 copies I made.








Up above are some of the spreads of the magazine, and a look at the cover and liner pages.

The cover/dust jacket folds out to be a poster of Modern and Historical Heroines, featuring women like Ruth Voights and Kitten Forever.
I still have more copies to assemble and since I just freed my bundle from the show I can finally give copies to contributors!

Liberty Print Nike Dunks

Nike released a limited edition of dunks in conjunction with "Liberty" floral patterns from the 19th century! This would be the perfect graduation present to buy for myself, except you can only buy them at one store in New York or on ebay for lots of $$$. Whatever, Nike sucks anyway. 

Big Senior Project update soon, for now a snapshot of my installation:

REPOST

(I made this last year but I just re-colored it and cropped it. )

SPRING BREAK '09

Break has been spent mostly on Senior project, other homework, and some fun. First I will show you my solution for a "3d illustration" brief. After a lot of deliberation and anguish I decide I would make my roommates and I riding birds. This first photo is the final, and the one bellow it is  a 'behind the scenes' polaroid by binnes. 

Below is a screenshot of the liner pages I'm working on for the Cult of Flowers publication. I plan to make it more of a pattern, with small flowers and names under the portraits. However, It kind of took forever to draw 11 portraits I was happy with and thought captured at least some of the likeness of the person, so I wanted to show it now. For fun, why not click the picture to make it bigger and see if you recognize anybody? (Hint: they are all musicians)ANSWERS: DONT LOOK UNLESS YOU ARE PLAYING THE GAME AND ALREADY GUESSED:

Top row Left to Right: Cat Power, Karen O, CocoRosie, and Nico. Middle row: Beth Ditto and JD Samson. Bottom row: Blondie, Betty Davis, Peaches, and Patti Smith. 

I will close with two pictures from the lovely COF photo shoot, up top is Jordan, and on the bottom is the deadly M.B.

Snow Crystals

I came across this strange packet in the "Snow Crystals" folder in the MCAD vertical file. It was apparently sent to MCAD by the Library of Congress in 1978. I just realized how timely of a post this is because of the unexpected flurries today. In other news, I was going to post something about my senior project process, but I don't want to.

NEW MASK

That's all.

Here is a little snap shot of what I've been up to so far this semester. It's been hard to get back into the production mode of making things. I spent some quality time drawing my own graph paper while thinking of Agnes Martin. I'm using it to make a type face about Ideas...

Here is an in progress screen shot, I'm not sure how it will end up.

ALSO I am almost done with my website, I finally photographed my books from last semester. Here is a sneak peak:
