notice on the wall

i love this gritty somewhat grotty look of these prints.but it would be counter intuitive at least now to stop there. experience has to come through in some way doesn't it?

after three layers of experience. still needs one more to call it done. 

interesting, lots of blacks lately. a  subconcious way of dealing with the current funk.

getting the hand again

you know the saying about riding a bike right? same thing with materials. i experimented a lot in the late 90's early 20000. put all to rest and now i'm back again. once you learn it goes to your hard drive and you can retrive it at will.  above,painted and stamped lutradur.

some machine stitching and fabrics added. the ric-rac is from a paradisiac notions store in tokyo. hello, wait for me please.

had to bite my hand as it reached for the heat gun.

just some stitching around the fabric inset to integrate it to the background.it was fun.

meanwhile i'm  physically training for the trip.

not only walking but doing weights and one a week serious stretching exercises because there's no tai chi yet.

more developments

the purpose of this blog has always been documenting my goings and doings. not doing too good with the photos , i tend to forget to take the raw state of things. in the begining this was white with stark black lines .this is the second take,lines stamped on the left and some transparent micaceous oxide staining the center.was really tempted to leave it there, but the barroque elf presented itself.

still in the realm of zen  but the add on looked somewhat like it was, something pasted on.

using again materials; this is a plastic carrier bag submitted to the heat gun and then painted.

the texture is  cool rugose,if you get my drift.

integration of all the things together like the beatles song chorus: all together now. maybe what prompted it was the histeria created by the announcement that oasis is back.
