A colleague asked for some abstract artwork with numbers so I added a few numbers to today’s ICAD gelatin monotype. It is going to be fun to play with numbers and geometric shapes for a while. I love when text, letter and numbers are abstract marks rather than absolute meanings.
I used:
- the typewriter again to put some numbers in the background
- a plastic stencil to stamp some numbers into the orange ink
- then the big zero that is bouncing on and off the page
Hey I added an about page to this site. It was a bit risky for me. I am trying to use a bit of humor to tell my story. Check it out here. Let me know if you think it is funny? Cute? too boastful? Inappropriate?
Happy Printing.
This is who you are and does a great job of giving your readers a sense of your creative journey. I like it.
I appreciate your input.
Seems spot on to me!
Thanks
Thanks for the feedback
I love knowing more about you; interesting! You’re one of my favorite artists – lots of your pins on my Pinterest boards.
Hi Linda,
It awesome. I love the numbers in the background.
Thanks
The “About” column is just perfect. Interesting and informative, I wished I lived closer to attend your classes! Thanks for all that you give of your talent with both your blog and your videos.
Thanks – good to hear.
I don’t find it boastful at all but I’m not a fan of writing in the third person as if someone else wrote it. I don’t think there’s a thing wrong with saying “I had the best teachers” or “I love creating with gelatin prints.” It’s more personal and makes more of a connection instead of reading like a news article. Just my 2 cents….
Thanks, I appreciate the input!
Hey! You look just like our Queen! (Only younger of course – You couldn’t possibly look like a great-grandma!)
The humour is great and I was fascinated to read your story. while I’m here, can I just add that I think your site and your artwork is brilliant! I’m just off to buy glycerine and rubbing alcohol to make myself a new plate! Can’t wait!
You brought a smile to my face. Great I can’t wait to see what you come up with for prints on your new plate.
I know it is hard sometimes to BE the I instead of the She, so I totally get your use of 3rd person AND I feel like it would BE so much BETTER to BE in your very own very friendly and encouraging voice. You’ve got quite the background, and it is really nice to know more about you… I notice that I create an entire story for people I meet and follow online, and then suddenly they BEcome “real” or at least realER, and the whole story shifts, BEautimously!!
thanks for your thoughts.
