Years ago, I had an art project called, Introspective. I ended up having a whole art show around it, and eventually I made it into an art book. But recently I've been revisiting it, mostly trying to find ways to add motion to the old pieces. I’m planning to turn the whole thing into a sort of experimental short film. But on the way to that, I'm hoping to get a bunch of fun new pieces.
Back when I was working on this art project, I scanned all my watercolor and mixed media pieces. Some were too big to fit, so I had to stitch them together from multiple scans.
It's fun to see the whole project laid out like this. Like a bird's eye view.
I'm taking these old pieces, and trying to find ways to animate them. It's been a fun challenge, and hopefully it all ends up stitched together into something cohesive.
I bought a bunch of fun stamps and letterforms to add to my recent mixed media pieces. The trouble is organizing them!
Drawing bees. Always drawing bees.
I love bringing this stuff into my iPad to animate it. It feels like a good way to bring new life to these old pieces.
