http://www.electrofervor.net/progress art & the art of process Sat, 20 Feb 2010 01:07:49 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Just got Margaret Kilgallen's book In the Sweet Bye & Bye. I fell in love with her work after seeing the Beautiful Losers documentary - a fantastic color palette, strong figures and bold typography all remenescent of a folk tradition. See for yourself: image from flickr user plushgallery, through the Margaret ... http://www.electrofervor.net/progress/2010/02/in-the-sweet-bye-bye/ "The squeegee is my brush...and the pull is the stroke..." I first came across Ryan McGinness very early in my art/design studies. I remember liking a lot of the work he did, but for whatever reason, didn't look too much into it after that. Anyway, now I'm writing a paper about McGinness ... http://www.electrofervor.net/progress/2010/02/mcginness/ Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Lunar New Year to everyone! Not much progress to report on, I've been battling a particularly difficult creative block recently. It's getting better, but I've been putting a lot of my efforts into the collaborative class at Tamarind. Will attempt to get some pictures soon! http://www.electrofervor.net/progress/2010/02/rush-rush/ Check it out, my name's on the marquee! It was really exciting for me to walk up to that on the night of my opening. I've never had my name on a marquee before! Anyway... I'm back in Albuquerque. We had a very relaxing first week back and are getting ready to ... http://www.electrofervor.net/progress/2010/01/spazzy/ The opening for my show at Dwelling Spaces was tonight and it went really well! Here are the prints that I made for the show, more pictures tomorrow of the exhibition. Considering I made all of these prints within two weeks (cumulative time), not so shabby, huh? These prints are a ... http://www.electrofervor.net/progress/2010/01/you-are-here/ My four weeks of winter break have been almost completely used up. I've spent most of my time in the studio, working on prints for my show at Dwelling Spaces, which opens this Friday. In addition... the holidays happened, it snowed a ridiculous amount in Tulsa, and my power washer ... http://www.electrofervor.net/progress/2010/01/2010/ I have a few papers to write, which in reality means that I'm going to be doing all of the other work that I need to do and haven't done. Cleaning, organizing, baking (which I do all the time, anyway), making personal art, and of course, writing on this blog. Anyway, ... http://www.electrofervor.net/progress/2009/12/high-tech/ This has nothing to do with making art, thinking about art, or looking at art...but I am so excited for this: I've already listened to (the album version of) "Written in Reverse" five times. Otherwise, nothing new on the Western front. http://www.electrofervor.net/progress/2009/11/excitement-2/ Well, Thanksgiving Break is over and I've got class again tomorrow morning. It was nice having some time to sleep and collect my thoughts about other projects that aren't related to Tamarind, but I'm ready to be back in the shop. Our next project for class is CMYK printing. I made ... http://www.electrofervor.net/progress/2009/11/check-it-out-im-posting-again/ Hello & pardon my silence! I've been at the Tamarind Institute since the end of August (probably since I last wrote) and my mind has been occupied with lithography and sleep (and occasionally New Mexican food) 24/7. Here's a selection of photos from the T: I think this might have been ... http://www.electrofervor.net/progress/2009/11/greetings-from-the-southwest/
