Printmaking: Origami Pt. 4

Obviously i skipped part 3. it wasnt too significant of a jump, but maybe later. Again, i just ink the folded shape and print it. I decided to create my own and be a more abstract. The most interesting part is the way the shapes under the surface come through and create more complex ones.

Printmaking: Origami Pt. 2

Okay, so i figured out something to do with the environment, but i just have to take it a little farther. These experiments were really helpful, but its moving too slow. i think i'll take a break from these images for a while.

Printmaking: Origami

Here's an experiment for printmaking class. i'm working with origami for pretty much every class this semester. for this one, i decided to use origami animals to print like stamps. i need to figure out something for the environment though.

NEW LOGO!

This is the result of many weeks of arduous designs and re-designs for a class assignment: take the traditional printer's mark and make it contemporary and yours. i took a traditional crest and added some modern symbols, like the barcode and page icon, and a laurel, cause i'm the greatest, duh. This one is currently being turned into a rubber stamp which i'll go pick up tomorrow. i'm so excited. pics to come.

So Yeah, I Saw It

The Batman

The Dark Knight was PHENOMENAL! Excellent movie. This one was THEE one for the Summer of '08. The action was superb, the story was great, and Heath Ledger [R.I.P.] was powerful.

Go out and see it NOW. (Don't take the kids though.)

Sean Bell -NYC Shooting: Detectives Aquitted

I really try to keep this kind of thing to a minimum, but sometimes you gotta say something, albeit this is just my opinion. This was another debacle and failure of the justice system. I'm not sure on the correct course of actions that need to be taken, but something needs to be done. As it stands, 50 shots on the unarmed is not a crime. As Mikey Factz put it:

"the justice system is not labeling discharging 50 shots as a crime, but as a procedure. Which means that every minority walking the streets of America is liable to get pummeled by a barrage of bullets."

And that's definitely how it feels right now.
