A nice little Saturday

Sometimes John creates visual interpretations of current goings-on. Above, a map of what we did on Saturday.

Wasp Nest Sketch

Still haven't found words yet for the swarms, so I'll have to fill you in on that thought process later. But the swarms are still brewing ---- half of this sketch was created on the train this past week, then taken into photoshop and mirrored. sketch for a large painting? nothing?

The jellyfish are coming ...

This sketch has been hanging out for awhile now, patiently waiting for me on the cork-board. In May, alongside the deer, the groundwork for the jellyfish was put together. The "fish in one day," or whatever it was called, was drawn over a photo-transfer layer of the ticker tape of the wall st. journal; the jellyfish will maneuver the real estate section and sheriff sale listings in bucks county. Instead of drawing the jellies, these will be rendered in a thick, slick layer of resin, acrylic, and nail polish. The reality of real-estate-land / foreclosure-land may or may not show through such distraction. In progress:

Jellyfish project officially kicked off in May 2010. 

Deer

I started the deer in the beginning of May, and unfortunately, no progress has been added since I've taken these photos. Hopefully I'll have more to share on this guy soon!
