The wind was strong outside. There had been heavy winds for several days prior, so the streets were strewn with palm frawns and misc. debris. ALL DOWN HILL, I made my way to the Rose Bowl, and on my final descent in to the valley, bump bump bump, BUMP BUMP BUMP... FLAT tire. sigh. i may as well enjoy the sunshine. I layed down for a moment.

I Felt like doing a quick painting before bed... photoshop style. Did this one with value and then added a color layer. I am REALLY bad at using color layer in photoshop( help). Every time I attempt this, it turns out obviously looking like a color layer over value. Gradating the color away on a mask looks really cool... I'll have to remember that.<br /><br />I haven't touched photoshop or painter for a while because i've been wanting to do some large work with traditional media. I've done a llllitttle bit, But mostly this idea of "keeping it real" has just caused me to produce less. computer=faster. Which doesn't mean I won't keep trying<br /> at it.<br /><br />I recently moved all of my studio stuff out of the breadbox that I call my room. I moved my stuff up... and over we go through the wave and undertoe/I will float until I learn how to swim<br />... into the attic. LOTS more leg room. lots less clutter.michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14303137162003864610noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31989233.post-1154414893195422202006-07-31T23:43:00.000-07:002006-07-31T23:48:13.196-07:00B+W<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1712/3488/1600/studyindannysclassdunno.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1712/3488/320/studyindannysclassdunno.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Sat in on a composition and painting class and did this painting. i think it took 2-3 hours, and i challeneged myself to use only flat shapes and no rendering. i think alot of the shapes are not needed... i get bored and start adding more superfluous shapes. i think a 5 hour sesh spent painting just the biggest shapes would be time well spent.michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14303137162003864610noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31989233.post-1154414529850190152006-07-31T23:38:00.000-07:002006-07-31T23:42:09.853-07:00i don't know<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1712/3488/1600/raNDOmfunidunno.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1712/3488/320/raNDOmfunidunno.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>started playing with shapes and layering and relayering until i saw a carish shape. not finished yet.<br />hopefully this one will include meandering zombiesmichaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14303137162003864610noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31989233.post-1154414267840135992006-07-31T23:36:00.000-07:002006-07-31T23:37:47.846-07:00hithis is me attempting to create a blog.michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14303137162003864610noreply@blogger.com0
