Mixed Media Creation

In need of a creative day, my girl friend Jessie and I set out to make some crafts. I already had my medium other than photography chosen, she chose hemp bracelets. As for me I chose my favorite; cardboard and black paper tape. My tools; exacto knife and a metal straight edge. I decided to take a photo after every step (almost) and turn it into a time lapse. Here is the video.




on my way to completing goals, I...
• rode my first critical mass
• started training for a marathon
• have ridden the 82, 85, and 89 buses to such locations as Dana Point, Laguna Beach and Saddleback College
• I also decided that I want to do a triathlon at some point after riding my bike to laguna beach

Cardboard Magic

So here are my latest mixed media creations, cardboard and black paper tape.

This one was made specially for Jessie since she loves Walt Whitman so much...

"Leaves of Grass" front 242mm x 245mm

"Leaves of Grass" back 242mm x 245mm

"Star" 283mm x 205mm

"Tree Sun II" 280mm x 160mm

more cardboard

I just got a new roll of tape and have started collecting more cardboard from my part time job at Trader Joe's (hooray for health benefits!) So everything you see below is found cardboard with my addition of black tape. I got some white tape recently (new for me). Some of these might make it into the mail some might collect dust. We will see.

"DROP" 135mm x 101mm

"Untitled" (gradation hexagon) 115mm x 142mm

"ONCH¡ OUCH! ONCH¡" 103mm x 137mm

"Recyclable Arrow" 142mm x 101mm

"Tree" 190mm x 115mm

"Treesun" 215mm x 132mm

(this one also has a red stamp added)
