Week 13 Assignment - Unseen Places
Okay this week was kinda interesting as I wanted to create something more pretty and appealing to the rest of the class. I think that people enjoy the little creatures I made previously ( at least those that I spent less than 2 hours on.... seems the more time I spend on a project the more noticeably frustrated the work becomes ) . I couldn't find anything around Wurster so I plundered my studio. Seems I have a thing for Octopusses ( that's right....OCTOPUSSES not OCTOPI )....
I wasn't satisfied with the pics from that night so I reassembled it on the balcony in the tower. Tried to give the pics an ethereal feel.

Week 12 Assignment -Overheard Conversations
This sucker was inspired by the rantings of a drunk homeless man I saw on BART. Clutching a bottle of Hypnotique ( BTW good call Katia...very impressive ) and smoking a pack of cigarettes the guy was talking absurdities to himself. So this week focuses on the vices and how they manifest themself.

Week 10 Assignment - Open:
I really don't like this one... so let's just leave it at that!
Week 10 Assignment - Open: Inspiration Pic and Video
Collecting inspiration imagery for project "Open". Acquired some material for tomorrow....not sure what will come of it... want to emphasize a bipedal character for tomorrow.... or something that could have two feet.
Humorous FanDub I found on the downfall of Kodachrome:

Week 9 Assignment - Follow / Rise
Follow / Rise was a complete departure from my usual characters. I actually wanted to make something robotic and techno-phobic but instead I made a creature who is quite the opposite - these characters don't appear to make a comment at all but rather just appear exist in the fabric of the piece. "Sponge Bob" is my favorite but the "Mr. Google-Eyes /SawTooth" stand out the most. "Tape-Ribbon Man" is a complete after thought and quite unsuccessful... though he took the most effort to assemble. I really don't know what this piece means... but as I referred last week it's best I stay away from the message and just paint a persona.

Week 8 Assignment - Hold
Decided to return to the more whimsical characters. As Tony remarked this is perhaps where i should channel most of my energyas the more "message" ridden works tend to be unclear.... "Hold" is a character of convenience and simultaneous a status symbol whose constant evolution creates the need for "upgrades"! This character is as much a sign of fashion as it is a piece of technology. You can not really hold on to this for long - you risk being out of style or a techno - Neanderthal.
Week 6 Assignment - Lead
Lead started out well intentioned but it degraded due to frustration ( heavy midterms week ). The characters are meant to be symbols of technology icons but it turned into something quite disrespectful and vulgar. I wish I could have redone this one.
