Digital/Analog Project

This is a project using both analog, hand drawn work, and digital, computer drawn, artwork. All of the lines were hand drawn and then scanned into Illustrator. Hope yall like it ^^

Composite Project

These are the projects I did for the composited image assignments.

Sarah Zwerling

Sarah is a professor here at Tyler. She showed us a fair amount of her work and I enjoyed most of it thoroughly. I really enjoyed the piece she did for the airport. The steps that she took to get through all of that were ridiculous.  I can’t believe she photoshopped out so many tiny little details. She said it took her months! She did a great job with that piece though.

But… The one thing that wasn’t really discussed was the fact that she had a BA and an MFA not a BFA. This really struck a chord with me. If I’m not in the art world for an “art job” and I just want to be an artist, do I really have to kill myself trying to get a BFA? It’s something I’m going to have to seriously look into. I’ve got to investigate my priorities before I invest too much money into a degree that I may not necessarily want or need…

Melinda Steffy

Melinda talked a LOT about Etsy. It’s a website where craftspeople can sell their goods. The site stongly emphasizes handmade goods. It was good to learn about but it was strongly business oriented. When she mentioned it I thought it would be a great thing to do but likely not for what I make.  She said someone who makes small things that are easily recreated are the perfect product for Etsy. I however tend to learn towards the one-of-a-kind, fine art production. She also showed us a bit of her work and I found it very interesting, especially the idea of a “residue” piece (a piece created with the by products or through the process of making another piece).  She was a pretty good speaker and she held my interest, but her lecture didn’t seem to appeal to too many of us right now in foundation year.

Superflex and Brett Cook

Superflex was an artist collective with a strong focus on discussing copyright issues in their artwork. They created a guarana drink and competed with the worlds biggest guarana company over copyright issues just to bring them to the front of the newspapers and the front of people’s ideas about copyright infringement.  They’ve opened stores to make statements about branding and how brands are practically open source material in our world because so many people are familiar with them and use them every day.

Brett Cook had a strong focus on artwork in a community setting.  His work started out as an anonymous, social collaboration in the community using spray paint as his medium.  He gained an anonymous fame through these actions but eventually changed his focus. He then started going into communities and doing portraiture of local people on an iconic scale. He showed focus on everyday people. His most recent projects are very VERY community intensive. He decided to go into a community and attempt to unite the people through a series of goal oriented community building exercises.  A lot of his work is socially oriented now and is very different than where he started.
