So, there’s this thing that I signed up for: HERE WOULD BE A LINK IF THEY HAD A WEB PRESENCE.<\/p>\n
Basically, I gave them 75 simloeans and they gave me 30 canvas boards and a deadline.\u00a0 One painting per day (October 2-31) and then I turn them over on November 1st.\u00a0 December 6th they will put on a show of all the challengers’ works which the public can buy for fifty bucks a pop (I think).\u00a0 Some goes to the gallery, some goes to us.\u00a0 Everybody wins (anything I don’t sell becomes a handy Christmas gift for family members; they HAVE TO appreciate relative-art: it’s a genetic compact).<\/p>\n
So, I had this idea about pandering to the Christmas hipster audience and doing a series of Icons of SciFi Holiday Party stuff:\u00a0 Jawas running downstairs to open presents, Princess Leia photocopying her naked butt at the office xmas party, Chewie doing Holo-karoake, that sort of thing.\u00a0 I then decided to scrap that plan and to use this time to actually explore new painting techniques (scumbling, for example) – thanks to free Internet tutorials.<\/p>\n
Today is day one and I have painted on four of my 30 canvases (backgrounds at least; 8″ x 10″, by the way).\u00a0 I have ideas for the foreground stuff to do later tonight or tomorrow after work (tonight I think I’m gonna relax and let the psychic spasms release and wash over me from my work this afternoon).\u00a0 I don’t plan on uploading images here until after the month is up.\u00a0 I reserve the right to flake on any commitment or non-commitment as I see fit – except for working every day this month on those paintings (unless I finish early).<\/p>\n
