Origami Print Phase 7

Okay, so this is where i am. Long way from the beginning, huh? i decided to print on the paper and actually fold the plate, which is actually something that's been in the back of my mind since the beginning. i just didn't feel i was ready.

If i had done this from the beginning, i probably wouldn't have taken an abstract route and ended up making glorified origami paper. i'm actually very happy with this and where i am with the idea right now and i think i'm gonna work on this particular image for the remainder of the semester.

i just wish it looked as good in person as it does in this image.

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.)
