Negative Revelations

Fun With Words

I have an unresolved obsession with type. So one day I was bored and sitting at my desk thinking that I wanted to write for the sake of writing. So I grabbed the first thing I saw which was a packet of Oxbow brand rabbit treats. On the back the ingredients/directions come in four different languages, English, French, Italian and Japanese. What better way to write something meaningless than to have no idea what the heck they mean. I was surprised that I found mundane/alien words were made into something beautiful because I could appreciate the words for just their shapes.

This was the best result of this exercise. Then one day at work during some downtime I repeated this exercise with a package of goldfish.

Windowless

This is one in the first of a series of self portraits I plan to create. This one is colored pencil on handmade rag paper.

Scary Joy

 Sometimes you can be so happy that its slightly terrifying.

Seamonkey See, Seamonkey Do

This is my first screen printed continuous pattern! Seamonkeys were one of the first pets I have ever had. This print is inspired by the first time I got them when I was little. After the while they got crazy busy so the little plastic tank was just a squirmy mess. Then I accidentally knocked it over one day. I have lived with the guilt of all those tiny lives on my hands forever.

Sherman Shrimp

 I made this for the Turning the Tide Contest. I made it to the second round!  But alas not to the final round. But that's ok cause created Sherman Shrimp.
