So for the last few months I feel as though I've been unable to breathe, read, craft, or blog because my life has been consumed with and by GRAPHIC DESIGN. I did learn to screen print however. These are glyphs from the font minion pro. My favorite.
I got to go home to Charlotte and see my best friend from high school.
Oh and thanksgiving and halloween happened, and I designed and printed two books, and two posters... the list goes on...
One of the things I've been struggling with in graphic design this year is the loss of the handmade craft. Needless to say I was excited and re inspired when we were shown....
The Letterpress Room.
I feel at home again and am pretty sure of what direction I'd like to head in...
For some time now my roommate and I have been wanting to make prints from mushroom spores. It has been raining frequently so yesterday we seized our chance! When we woke up this morning they smelled horribly so we threw them away, oops. They did make for nice composition though don't you think?
In life, the optimum feeling we as humans feel is joy. To record and remember that joy as well as to convey it in new situations is an incredible and rewarding feat. To be able to do this while at the same time acknowledging our digression in society brought about by technology and wastefulness is something I strive for and respect. Also, I love remembering.Memories and nostalgia play a large role in my peacefulness and appreciation in life. I try to bring those elements into my work to evoke the same feelings in the viewer. I'm also a foodie.
