Work in Progress: Stencil / Woodblock

Been working on a few spray paint stencil pieces -- This is some of the work in progress... I want to mix on layers of paint and maybe do something else to it like collage? I will just have to see where it leads as it progresses. I also started a woodblock print, but then was not sure how I want to make the thin lines/ If I will make it a reduction print? - So I have put it off to give it some more thought.

Self Portrait - Screen Print / Spray Paint

Here is the self portrait that I was working on - The top image has the spray painted stencil attempt that I did for fun - I decided to blend it into the background by mixing another stencil pattern and mixing it all up with spray paint -- then when I finished I took my self portrait that I made a screen print of  - and printed that on top.  -- I did a few other ones too. I like the way it came out...

Self Portrait - Stencil/ Spray Paint

Started this a few weeks ago but then I have been really busy working during the weekends and then prepping for other artwork during the week -- So I FINALLY finished cutting the stencil and was able to make some time to test it out - I like the way it came out  - but really I am just glad to have finished it! I hate having a piece almost done and then you just have it hanging over your head - and having to wait to get time to finish it.     .... I still might make a few changes - but it is just really nice to see a finished piece!

Actions Conversations & Intersections

Day 2 was just as great! - Last night I was thinking about what I might create from the items that were there in the gallery... I had an idea of a large ballerina - but then after getting to the gallery I just really liked the old chair that would have to be broken apart.... plus Patricia had this great piece of fabric that was so perfect for the seat cover! So I worked on other things and had a great time! The following are some of the art pieces that I had created for this show - A while back I had found a bunch of drawers that someone tossed behind a store instead of throwing them away a lil at a time. I reclaimed them and took the outside wood fronts off, patched up the handle holes, and used them to paint on. Then attached a hook on the back to hang them on the wall. -- I have plans for artwork I want to create from the rest of the wood from the drawers.

Screen Printing sketching- Update

This is the ONE cut design that I had mentioned the other day -- the whole thing is ONE connected "shape" - cut out to form a portrait.   ... BUT I got anxious and took the original sketch cut it and spray painted it just to see what the print will look like... The possibilities of everything that you can do with a single cut out is kinda cool to think about... 

Started Stenciling

In working with the paintings I was having a hard time knowing what I was going to paint on the layers.... I did a few things that just ruined my layers by painting figures on the - I kinda liked the abstracted painted layers by it self... but still fet like it needed MORE.. but then just went a lil over board... I have felt that it is such a thin line... so it makes me feel really pressured when I create a great set of layers and then I become afraid to ruin it... It is actually pretty funny to think about how attached I become to something that is so abstract when creating it. 

I had begun looking thru photos I had taken to find inspiration or poses that I might like to create and sketch/ paint into the painting.... and somehow - I guess from watching those old vids of other peoples artwork - I decided to do a stencil. I was just practicing - to see how it worked and how it would come out. I had seen recently some really cool stencils... I made one and had to use auto primer - since it was the only "spray" paint I had... hahaha ... But I really loved it! I have began work on a few more - and have been seeing about painting within the stencil in some away -- kinda bringing all my work together... I'll get some real paint soon, and post some work... but till then.... Here is the stencil I was working on - It is on a cardboard box that I use to work on... but I love how THAT effected the outcome.... I'll get better as I go along.  -- More to come soon! =)
