Introduction
My thoughts:
I'm currently really enjoying airbrushing. Art and life are such a journey, amiright? Last year, I took a class at the local arts center. It had been nearly two decades since my last class. I had such anxiety thinking about skills and expectations. I studied art in my younger years at UW but would my hands even remember that? During that class, I found myself rekindling that passion. Drawing, watercolors, ink stippling. It was as if I had locked the love and passion down deep and chance to create and everything poured out. Well so, what's coming out of this brain?
Recently, I have become obsessed with two things: editing the heads off of humans and replacing them with some type of animal. It is wildly satisfying. Next is the type of canvas. Cardboard. It has a wonderful toughness to it. I like how the texture and hue work with the airbrushing technique or ink and brush. And its free and plentiful! I like to imagine a gallery where cardboard, such an ordinary piece of material, hangs in glory displaying things in which I've created. A material once destined for the recycle or trash, saved, transformed and put on a pedestal.
