Early Favs pt 7

Ghost Fragments


background is a indigo/potassium hand-dyed (with gloves on) cotton piece. This particular background image was a small section of the piece. Basically using the entire scanning surface of the scanner. The mask imagery is from a drawing and then using "effects" to achieve the appearance you now see.


I will be taking some time off on both blogs (this one and Sam's World) for vacation and to get some personal artwork done. See ya toward the end of September!

Glance


early mask imagery and re-working various elements of the mask

Early Favs pt 5

Impression


an early hand-dyed, wax resist cotton piece, re-worked digitally. I added the mask image during the digital component of the process.

Early Favs pt 4

one of those abstract sketches that took a life of its own. No "plan" for this drawing, just turned out as you see it. I really love these drawings because there are no expectations of what the finished drawing needs to look like.

Bolero


another textile piece re-worked digitally

Early Favs pt 2

Ishmael, Thunderbird, and Ares
this was one of my first pieces that I used traditional work and re-worked the piece digitally. The original piece was a hand-dyed indigo and potassium piece I did as a school project. Using Photoshop to manipulate the piece, I came up with three images:


top:        Ishmael          ( I had recently read Daniel Quinn's "Ishmael", main character was a gorilla)
middle:  the Thunderbird
bottom  Ares, God of War

Early Favs pt 1

Into the Maw


the next few posts will be of some earlier work. Alot of the work you will see was produced back in the first several years of new century. My first foray into producing work digitally and re-working some traditional work digitally. This would be my "beginning" point with using the computer as a tool for my artistic expressions.
So sit back and join me in a visit down memory lane!

Battle Man

another image that started out as an abstract ink drawing, but took a life of its own.

final two pieces in the "Depth View" foursome.

New Work

Depth View One

Depth View Two




































I did a fairly large piece and split the final work into four pieces. None of the "pieces" fit together seamlessly. All four pieces overlap each other somewhere. I don't know where, the pieces were made randomly.  Lots of detail and depth in these, with many layers during the process.
