This Week's Considerations..

So far this week I managed to get a couple more character sketches done. I also bought myself CS5 which should come in a few days. Once I get that set up I'll get to work pulling the sketches into more thought out compositions. Then I'll finally get to make use of the drawing tablet I got for Christmas as well.

I've also been trying to think how its all going to come together and be presented. Considering Rauschenberg again, I like the idea of making a 3D canvas structure. Taking it even further than his combines, I kind of want something you can step in and around. Literally pulling the viewer into "Meg's world." I might have to go on a dumpster diving scavenger hunt for materials, if anyone is interested in being my back up...

And the other day, I had this idea of creating a box or room you have to view through peep holes. Essentially, a peep show. I'd either have the inside covered in images or have a projection. I like the idea of the view being obscured so you can never really get the full picture. Question here would be, would I have actually imagery indicative of a peep show or something more complex into my own personal psyche....? I think this is a component to let simmer on the side till I can figure out how to go about working it...

I've been feeling a little unsatisfied with my use of acrylic paint. I can't quite pinpoint why. I've been contemplating using oils but it would force me to work at a slower pace...which may or may not be a good thing for me. I think I'm also just eager to start putting things together which I can't quite do until I figure out how they are going together.
