Disappointed

I am so disappointed right now. All the files I saved for making a background, we never saved. I feel like a failure and time has been lost. Now I must go back into the internet sea and find all the green logos and red logos (A LOT) and download them again. Just mad.

Struggles...

So…. I ended up hitting a wall. I need to do more construction haha. I am looking for tiles and carpet pieces that should be about a foot squared but the major stores make it impossible to get because everything is in bulk. I am on a mission tomorrow to find some local stores that may have some scraps for the taking. Only problem is the may have scraps but it may not be colored. I am starting to feel a little lost again. Maybe I will tackle the grocery store tomorrow with my paint swatches to see what matches. I feel like a bum because I have not photographed any film and I am only taking snap shots of my test subjects to see what works. Its acceptable just not what I am used to! I want to make some images and something consistent!!!! I guess I will get back to my red logo hunt. Looking at compliments for the logo backgrounds but it is taking me forever!

Technical Difficulties

I am just finding out that some of my posts have not been publishing. This is very frustrating to me but it is for some reason happening on my phone app. Please forgive me, I have all my posts up and published now. Thanks!

Studies of red and blue again...

This So I have created two studies. One of red in a shadow box frame and one of blue as a composition made on foam board. I am watching each one everyday to see their change in color. They both contain artificial and natural elements and I am curious to see how they decay. 

Day one: 

Day two: 

Day three:

This should be interesting. I am also working on making another corporate logo background but with as many as I can find within one color. This is hard to do. It's coming along though. If you have any information about artificial and natural and what the two mean to you, please let me know! I am thinking about using a digital reference for say the color orange and then trying to match that color in both the artificial and natural world to make almost like a triptych, I am still trying to figure out to do this though.....not that tech savy. In the menatime I have picked up some paint swatches to play with this idea and see if I can match the color elsewhere. Of course I'm going to look like a fool at the store holding paint swatches up to food or labels but that's all part of the fun! 

Think I can match any of these????? I will also be looking at getting both natural and artificial materials like carpet, Duran wrap, wrapping paper, construction paper etc and making a collage with a square then a square made of food or flowes, something natural. Simple. Elegant. That's on this weeks agenda!  But for now I must get back to my still life reading and research on this matter. :) enjoy! 

Studies.

Check out my Instagram, Twitter, and tumblr. Here are some images I'm studying. 

All studies taken with my iPhone. Just thinking and testing color ideas out. Exhausting. The thoughts are if you can intertwine both artificial and organic color could we actually tell what's real and what's not. What kind of world do we live in? Another thought of how to tackle the food dilemma and deception we face today. 

Red and blue tests

Some tests from my recent study. Trying to incorporate decay back into the work.
